One Good Thing

from Keep Walking by Emily Maguire

/

lyrics

Sometimes you’re patient
Sometimes you’re sore
And sometimes you really think you can’t take it anymore

Sometimes you’re philosophical
Sometimes you’re raw
But if there’s one good thing about a broken heart
You can’t break it anymore

You can look but don’t touch desire
Your dreams are dust at dawn
And now you’ve got what you’ve been longing for
You don’t want it anymore

But this time you’ve gone across that line
And they don’t think you’ll be fine
And they say you’ve lost your mind
That you’ve left it all behind

Cos sometimes you’re lazy
And sometimes you’re wrong
But if there’s one good thing about a bad mistake
You won’t make it anymore

But this time you’ve gone across that line
And they don’t think you’ll be fine
Cos they say you’ve lost your mind
That you’ve left it all behind
You left behind your mind

Cos sometimes we’re crazy
Sometimes we’re bored
But if there’s one good thing about the end of time
You can’t waste it anymore
