Lover, said you're leavin' Gotta leave me behind Got your lovesakes packed in a suitcase Givin' me your sympathy smile Just when I'm down on my good luck You're walking away Every cloud has a silver lining It's the darkest before the dawn I was brought up to look upon the bright side Ever since the day I was born Quiet just before the storm Dreamer, you call me dreamer The smiling, optimistic fool No bad blood is for my own good To be kind, you've got to be cruel Just 'cause I'm down on my good luck You're walking away Every cloud has a silver lining It's the darkest before the dawn I was brought up to look upon the bright side Ever since the day I was born Quiet just before the storm Fire, yes, you're a liar You never really loved me at all But that's okay, 'cause baby, one day Things'll change and I will be whole 'Cause I'll be riding my good luck A reason to say Every cloud has a silver lining It's the darkest before the dawn I was brought up to look upon the bright side Ever since the day I was born Quiet just before the storm
