Silver Lining

Smacked in the head with a shovel
Had your heart torn right out of your chest
The one that you loves’ got a double,
That constantly puts all your love to the test

What would you do if it happened
Would you try to find the reasoning
When everything falls apart at the seems
Can you search for the silver lining

So you smile when you’re thinking about her
Now that she’s gone maybe more
You say, man what a ride, I’m surprised I survived
But a rollercoasters’ never a bore

I stuck to my guns When it happened
When I think about her bells still ring
She might just be gone, hey I’ll still do my thing
I’m in search of a silver lining

I wasn’t looking for the reasoning
I never wanted any bells to ring
The winter ended, and it turned into spring
As I searched for the silver lining

Looking for logic, but it doesn’t make a bit of sense
Maybe it’s etched in stone somewhere
I can see it from here, but I couldn’t see it from there

What would you do if it happened to you
Could you find another song to sing
A whole new circumstance to dance to
A brand new land where you’d be king

I would never have found out
If what happened didn’t happen then
Everyone knows that cuts gonna sting
Grin and bare, there’s a silver lining
