John Harvie - Beauty In The Bad Things Lyrics

It's hard to wake up
I hate what I love
And twenty-one sucks, pretend
I'm good but I'm not
My friends are all gone
Get stoned and watch Lost again

It gets worse 'fore it gets better
Shit that might just take forever
So I wrote myself a letter and said

There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't let go
Even at our best, we'll still be a little bitter
Part of me's a saint but I'll always be a sinner
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't lose hope
Even when we're low and there's nothing to believe in
We'll never be alone, yeah, we always have our demons

If I met myself
When I was twelve
I wonder what he would say
I'd hide all of my drugs
I'd give him a hug
And tell him he'll be okay

Yeah, it gets worse 'fore it gets better
Shit, it feels like it's forever forever
So I wrote that kid a letter, it said

There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't let go
Even at our best, we'll still be a little bitter
Part of me's a saint but I'll always be a sinner
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't lose hope
Even when we're low and there's nothing to believe in
We'll never be alone, yeah, we always have our demons

There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh

I don't know if I'll get better
Yeah, forever feels like never
So I opened up my letter and read

There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't let go
Even at our best, we'll still be a little bitter
Part of me's a saint but I'll always be a sinner
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't lose hope
Even when we're low and there's nothing to believe in
We'll never be alone, yeah, we always have our demons

There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
(There's beauty in the bad things, oh)
(Whoa, oh)
(There's beauty in the bad things, oh)
(Whoa, oh)
