Lyrics for This Is How It Works

I've never been too sad So sad that I couldn't share When you can't find the words Guess it's time to listen Took a lot to get me here Staring out at the walls Is there somebody that I can call? Someone who knows where I am Someone who knows how it's been I know you can't talk long But I'm barely hanging on I'm so tired of telling you It's a hard time again It's a hard time again Tell me something good Pull me out from what I'm in Take it one day at a time I'm moving everything around I won't get attached to the way that it was This is how it works for me now This is how it works for me now I know you can't talk long But I'm barely hanging on And I'm so tired of saying I'm tired It's a hard time again It's a hard time again Tell me a story that'll make me forget It's a hard time again Tell me something good
