Getting By

By Laura D August 19, 2016 Got a sunny disposition And a pocket full of sunshine Got a reason to smile But it sure as hell is not mine You got a bright light And a penchant for contradictions You know how to shine But you're fighting through addictions It's a place that we have But I can't see over the skyline A dream that we share But I still can't see the outline Just stay on your feet Cause I just can't hold you up now Stay here with me We'll make it; I don't know how Learn a different way To see a road that isn't dying Don't know what to say But I won't resort to lying I'll carry you through It's a short path towards virtue I'll take your pain away And we'll make a fate that's brand new
