As Bad As It Seems

(album: Things I Can't Say Out Loud - 2021)

Monday morning switch on the TV
There's so much hurt in the world
I thank the lord I'm so lucky
Ain't that what we all deserve?

Oh I count my lucky days
Oh I'm grateful for the ways
That we get to do the things that we do

I'd be broken if it changed
I would struggle with the pain
If a second passed me by without you

Oh I know many things get complicated
And I know that the waters get rough

You know life ain't ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I've got you
When I see what I've got
I've got all that I need
'Cause I've got you

Life ain't ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I've got you
When I see what I've got
I've got all that I need
'Cause I've got you

I believe most people will agree
So many times, life gets blurred
I count my stars I'm so lucky that you're here with me
Oh for the better or worse

Oh I know many things get complicated
And I know that the waters get rough

You know life ain't ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I've got you
When I see what I've got
I've got all that I need
'Cause I've got you

Life ain't ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I've got you
When I see what I've got
I've got all that I need
'Cause I've got you

No life (your life) is never ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I'm loving you loving me (your life)
Is never ever as bad as it seems
As it seems
As it seems

You know life ain't ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I've got you
When I see what I've got
I've got all that I need
'Cause I've got you

Life ain't ever as bad as it seems
'Cause I've got you
When I see what I've got
I've got all that I need
'Cause I've got you
