Jim Stevens - Life's Not As Bad As It Seems lyrics

rate me

You were the one who stood alone

Where the shadows set you free

Alone in the dark seems a whole lot worse to me

Nobody noticed you, nobody cared about your misery

You gave up hope and learned to cope by insensitivity

CHORUS

But open your mind

You will see

Choose your hell

Or ecstasy

Don't lose hold of your golden dreams

Life's not as bad as it seems

Y'know, life's not as bad as it seems

Those talking heads with their vicious tongues

They yapped at your expense

It burned inside, made you feel like dyin'

But you can't change past events

It's time to move on, you've done no wrong

Stop swallowing your pride

Lashing out, so filled with doubt

Time to get off this ride

CHORUS 2

So drop your guard, lose you defense

Calm your mind and it'll all make sense

Leave your baggage behind and travel lean

Life's not as bad as it seems

Y'know, life's not as bad as it seems

Ain't no one to blame in this tortured game

No one's left untouched

You gotta realize the real prize

Is that you're learning so much

CHORUS 3

So give it up, let it go

Say hello to yes and goodbye to no

The shadows'll lift, you'll finally see

Life's not as bad as it seems

Y'know, life's not as bad as it seems
