lyrics

I stood at the top of a mountain
And looked back down at all the people still climbing
They weren't as high as me
But that's just how I see
They probably don't give two shits about me

Rain is better than sunshine
If you want your pain to turn gold
But the songs that you sing
They don't mean anything
You're just beating on the ground
Where your horse once laid

I stood at the back of the bar room
And I listened to everything you had to say
I wondered why you even try
And how you don’t see your life pass you by
I'd really like to see these tears that you say you cry

I'm tired of trying...
I'm tired of trying to make this last
Rain is better than sunshine
