If It Don't Work Lyrics

IF IT DON'T WORK

I used to pray for love to find me somewhere

Then I'd push it away when it got there

And blame the world for being cold and being blind

It feels good to slam a door

But it don't work no more

I have taken pride in being shattered

Like it's the only way that I mattered

Having damage is a virtue of some kind

Till you finally find your core

Then it don't work no more

It's time to let the good wash over me

Let this wounded heart break free and see

If it can fly again

Let forgiveness let it be

You know it's easy if you

Try again

I used to drink to turn down the voices

Always giving me hell for my choices

It keeps you rolling till the gears all start to grind (and they will)

There's a fix in every pour

Till it don't work no more

It's time to let the good wash over me

Let this wounded heart break free and see

If it can fly again

Let forgiveness let it be

You know it's easy if you

Try again

It's time to say goodbye to the things that just don't work no more

It's time to say goodbye to the things that just don't work no more

We could look around at what's broken

And leave healing words unspoken

Tell ourselves that it's okay, yeah never mind

But that old like that worked before…

It don't work no more

If it don't work, it's time to say goodbye, yeah

If it don't work, it's time to say goodbye, yeah
