The Rarest Kind

To everyone else, I'm a silver lining

I'm the one who makes them smile

But when it's my turn, where's mine?

I'm golden, but not worth keeping

Verse 1

Blessed, but I'm cursed

Big dreams, but time's running out first

Pretty, but am I worth keeping?

I'm the healer, but who heals me?

I'm the first to arrive, last to leave

I'm the one who stands in the rain and makes the sun come out for you

But I'm still soaked through

Pre-Chorus

And I know the feeling

Like I'm only valued for what I can do

Not for who I am

Chorus

To everyone else, I'm a silver lining

I'm the one who makes them smile

But when it's my turn, where's mine?

It's like I'm a prize to be won and left behind

I'd rather be real than be the rarest kind

Yeah, I'm the golden one

But there's no silver lining for me

Verse 2

I walk the tightrope every day

'Cause I'm the answer they want to find, but never want to hold

I'll give you magic, I'll give you grace

I'll be your story, but would you ever tell mine? (Ooh-ooh)

And I'm so tired of being the one everyone relies on

It'd be nice to have someone to rely on, yeah

Chorus

To everyone else, I'm a silver lining

I'm the one who makes them smile

But when it's my turn, where's mine?

It's like I'm a prize to be won and left behind

I'd rather be real than be the rarest kind

Yeah, I'm the golden one

But there's no silver lining for me

Bridge

They say I'm pretty, I'm brilliant, I'm talented

And I love to hear it, but does it mean they want me?

Do they want me, or just what I bring?

Why am I only worth what I can give?

Chorus

To everyone else, I'm a silver lining

I'm the one who makes them smile

But when it's my turn, where's mine?

It's like I'm a prize to be won and left behind

I'd rather be real than be the rarest kind

Yeah, I'm the golden one

But there's no silver lining for me

Outro

No, no, no

No

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh

I'm golden, but there's no silver lining for me

No silver lining

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm the golden one

But there's no silver lining for me
