Something and the Whatevers - It's Never Fair Lyrics

I wish I could be singing a more optimistic song for you
You know I could really stand to hear one myself
'Cause in the long tradition of terrible years
I think this one has really taken the cake
And you know that it's still possible that next year will be even worse
And I should probably tell you it will be ok
I should tell you that you're gonna see sunnier days
I should say all the things a decent person would say
But you don't wanna hear that bullshit
And I don't wanna mess with your head
So let's not pretend that any of this is somehow fair

'Cause it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers, but the answers were never there
And I wish I could say I know how you feel
But I honestly have no idea how you feel
And I know I got nothing useful to say but I swear
I'm still really trying to care

I gotta admit you seem ill-equipped
To handle situations like this
Maybe it's because you're so full of hope yet so full of doubt
'Cause even after you stopped believing in god
You kept believing that you were hero of your own story
And that things would just sort of work out
But you and I know better now
Yeah, you and I know the truth now and it isn't pretty
And it doesn't have a happy ending
And you're doing your best to ignore
The face of the man you can see through the wall
In the back of the restaurant
And he's grinning and he's singing...

It's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers, but the answers were never there
And I don't wanna look on the bright side tonight
No I don't wanna find silver linings tonight
For whatever it's worth I just want you to know I swear
I'm still really trying to care

It's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers, but the answers were never there
And I don't wanna look on the bright side tonight
No I don't wanna find silver linings tonight
I just wanna remember, I just wanna fucking care

It's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers, but the answers were never there
And I wish I could say I know how you feel
But I honestly have no idea how you feel
And I know I got nothing useful to say but I swear
I'm still really trying to care
