Silver Lining
Chasing Shadows: Peyton Medina's Reflections on Love and Loss
Lyrics
I borrowed your jacket on New Years at midnight
I wore your jacket on New Year's Eve at midnight
And you asked for it back at 12:02
You requested its return at 12:02
Yeah you push me around like i'm someone you'd leave
You treat me in a way that suggests you might abandon me
Is that all that I am, that I am to you?
Am I only defined by this treatment in your eyes?
Should I just give up on talkin' at night
Should I cease attempting to communicate during the night?
Or the stupid talks where we fight to fight
Or the pointless arguments we engage in
Is it all just a waste, just a waste of our time, our time, our time, its my time, its my time now
Are our interactions a futile expenditure of time?
If we're keeping score you're losing points now
If we're keeping track, you're accumulating negative points
If you're loving me not sure you know how
If you love me, it's uncertain if you understand how
Cheeks are turning red from crying
My cheeks are flushed from crying
Not sure you're finding the silver lining
Uncertain if you're recognizing any positive aspect in our situation
I said I don't care but I drank too much last night
I claimed not to care, but I consumed excessive alcohol last night
Cause I'd rather black out than cry about you
Prefer blacking out over shedding tears for you
And you asked if I'd find my way back home
You inquired if I would find my way home
Well I guess this time I'm going alone
This time, it seems I'll be journeying alone
If we're keeping score you're losing points now
If we're keeping track, you're accumulating negative points
If you're loving me not sure you know how
If you love me, it's uncertain if you understand how
Cheeks are turning red from crying
My cheeks are flushed from crying
Not sure you're finding the silver lining
Uncertain if you're recognizing any positive aspect in our situation
I'm trying to find it
I'm making an effort to find it (the silver lining)
The bright side Is hiding
The positive aspect is concealed
I'm trying to find it
I'm making an effort to find it (the silver lining)
You're blurring the silver lining
You are obscuring the silver lining
If we're keeping score you're losing points now
If we're keeping track, you're accumulating negative points
If you're loving me not sure you know how
If you love me, it's uncertain if you understand how
My cheeks are turning red from crying
My cheeks are flushed from crying
Not sure you're finding the silver lining
Uncertain if you're recognizing any positive aspect in our situation
You tell me you don't wanna be alone now
You express a desire not to be alone
You make me feel like I'm just letting you down
You make me feel like I am constantly disappointing you
The trust I have in you is slowing dying
The trust I had in you is gradually fading away
Not sure you're finding the silver lining
Uncertain if you're recognizing any positive aspect in our situation
