lyrics

Took a sip from pity’s cup
It went down so smooth
They say laughter is the best medicine
Even though it never seems to make it any better

Keep up the good attitude
Drink in the weather
We know you have all their thoughts and prayers
Even though they never seem to make it any better

So take comfort in the fact
That there’s no perfect thing someone could say
Ignore the words don’t give up on me now
Lock eyes, acknowledge and put it away

Just keep doing what you’re doing
Cause no one knows what to do or say
Or what little difference it could possibly make
What a shame, it’s out of our hands

Cause I’m the lucky one
Who gets to see it everyday
What you’re going through
I take the rest as people feel sorry for you
Even though you don’t really see it that way

What you must be going through
What you must be going through
Babble words of comfort to you
What a shame, oh what a shame
