Black Coffee

How do I get better

If there's nothing wrong with me

Try not to blame it on the weather

Or the curse of family

Cause I know by now that this comes and it goes

Keep singing lines, don't let anyone close

How can I feel better

If all I can do is dream

Don't wanna get out of this bed yet

Just wanna drown under the sheets

But I found your cup full of dust and little talks

Stuffed in my cupboard so I filled it up

Today I drank black coffee

It tasted like dirt

That's just the way you liked it

So I know it could be worse

Today I drank black coffee

Remembered what I had

Took another sip and thought, "you know, it's not that bad"

I know I waste so much time

Just fightin' with the demons that I built up in my mind

I took a walk with the dog

Down to the cabin that my daddy was so proud of

And I'll just sit

Sometimes I'll cry

I know nothing feels like home like it does there

In late July

I know that I'll get better

But these things, they just take time

Don't look at me like I'm a problem

You can solve and then it's fine

Cause I know by now this is just a part of me

And without sugar and cream it can still taste as sweet

Today I drank black coffee

It tasted like dirt

That's just the way you liked it

So I know it could be worse

Today I drank black coffee

Remembered what I had

Took another sip and thought, "you know, it's not that bad"
