No Silver Lining

No one sees me standing in the rain

While I'm giving shade to you

I hold the umbrella up high, but no one holds one for me

A blessing and a curse, but it's true

I'm the silver lining for you

Verse 1

I can fix your broken heart

I can heal your scars

I can show you how to fly

So you can reach the stars

I can turn your gray to blue

I can make your dreams come true

I can be the magic for you

But no one makes magic for me

'Cause I'm the silver lining for you

Chorus

And they see me as the golden one

But never the chosen one

I'm the shiny distraction

Until all the damage is done

And they tell me I'm pretty

But I'm never worth keeping

And I'm the one wide awake

While the rest of the world is sleeping

Yeah, I'm golden

But there's no silver lining for me

Verse 2

I've got a heart full of magic

Mama gave me fire

I've got these big dreams

But I'm preaching to the choir

'Cause life's too short for saving grace

And I'm never a permanent place

I'm just a temporary stop

And nobody wants to stay

And I'm blessed but cursed

I quench everybody's thirst

But I'm dying here

Does the glitter matter if you're left in the cold?

Chorus

'Cause I'm the golden one

But never the chosen one

I'm the shiny distraction

Until all the damage is done

And they tell me I'm pretty

But I'm never worth keeping

And I'm the one wide awake

While the rest of the world is sleeping

Yeah, I'm golden

Bridge

Why am I the answer that they never want to hold?

Why am I the story that's never been fully told?

Why can't they see

That I need you like you need me?

Why am I the one they always leave?

Chorus

They see me as the golden one

But never the chosen one

I'm the shiny distraction

Until all the damage is done

They tell me I'm pretty

But I'm never worth keeping

I'm the one wide awake

While the rest of the world is sleeping

Outro

Blessed, but cursed

Big dreams, time's running out

Pretty, but never worth keeping

I am the golden one

But no silver lining for me

No silver lining for me
