You Bet Right - The Strand

You Bet Right Lyrics

You wanna lie and tell the world that it’s all right
You wanna give em what they want to pacify
You wanna live with plastic smiles and curt replies
You wanna lie? You wanna lie? You wanna lie
Well it’s hard to tell, It’s like I never said farewell. I watch the
ships set sail, into the night. Well it’s hard to tell, when it’s time
to ring the bell. I’m stronger, but you bet right. And I know
what it meant to me. And I know she felt the same. But it’s been
six months since we went walking, And the future’s still miles away
You were right; I’m not okay
You were right; I’m not okay
Today my world is spinning, tomorrow never arrives
They say that time is medicine, well I don’t think I’m healing right
Back to stitching up my bitching mouth. Back to wishing I were

far away. Back to feeling I didn’t give enough. Back to flinching
when I hear your name
Smash the kind of tale I wanna tell. Smash the kind of game I
wanna play. Smash the kind of view I’d like to have. It’s all the same
I’m still the same, I’m not okay
