Lyrics

I’m despairing at despair I’m failing at failing Spend my time, wailing and wailing Can I just stop caring?

All I can do is laugh right now, If I don’t laugh, I’ll start to cry.

  • repeat -

I hope for better days but It always turns bitter So I’m despairing at despair I’m failing at failing

All I can do is laugh right now If I don’t laugh I’ll start to cry I’m despairing at despair…

I was going to say that you captured it pretty accurately, but I'm thinking it would be more useful if I just sent you a great big Hug.

Really emotional lyric. The "failing at failing" line is particularly good.

I like the use of repetition to drive the despairing despair cycle, very insightful!
