It's hard to wake up
I hate what I love
And twenty-one sucks, pretend
I'm good but I'm not
My friends are all gone
Get stoned and watch Lost again
It gets worse 'fore it gets better
Shit that might just take forever
So I wrote myself a letter and said
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't let go
Even at our best, we'll still be a little bitter
Part of me's a saint but I'll always be a sinner
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't lose hope
Even when we're low and there's nothing to believe in
We'll never be alone, yeah, we always have our demons
If I met myself
When I was twelve
I wonder what she would say
I'd hide all of my drugs
I'd give her a hug
And tell her she'll be okay
Yeah, it gets worse 'fore it gets better
Shit, it feels like it's forever
So I wrote that kid a letter, it said
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't let go
Even at our best, we'll still be a little bitter
Part of me's a saint but I'll always be a sinner
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't lose hope
Even when we're low and there's nothing to believe in
We'll never be alone, yeah, we always have our demons
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
I don't know if I'll get better
Yeah, forever feels like never
So I opened up my letter and read
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't let go
Even at our best, we'll still be a little bitter
Part of me's a saint but I'll always be a sinner
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Promise me you won't lose hope
Even when we're low and there's nothing to believe in
We'll never be alone, yeah, we always have our demons
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
There's beauty in the bad things, oh
Whoa, oh
