lyrics

You've had a long kind of year, had the wrong kind of year,
and you're finally tired enough to know fear.
You pretend to have some kind of hope, but you know that you don't.
You're just beating a horse that can't run

You should be thankful now
You should be thankful...

You really thought that you'd be showing up on TV,
changing lives every time that you speak
Do you believe every lie that you tell?
Can you live with yourself?
You are a destroyer of all that you love.

You should be thankful now
You should be thankful if you learned your lesson and escaped with your life
If you were selfish and petty but you still got your wife.

You should be thankful now
You should be thankful if you've found the bottom of a bottomless well
but you can still feel the sunlight, and you can still hear the bells...

So if songs still mend broken hearts and carry their way to the top,
If you still have some air in your lungs
then you can sing with your mouth full of blood
because you've never known when to give up...
You never know when to give up.
