Found a cheap therapist
Started taking vitamins
And gave up on all my friends
I bought some self help books
Stopped giving myself dirty looks
And started breathing again
Got really into dirty martinis
Stuck a rainbow key chain on my rear view
To remind myself the pot of gold
Is always just up the road

Bottom line, I survived yeah
Spent all year being so dramatic
Well it was sad and I was lonely
But I'm standing here alive in this moment
Why's it gotta be, why's it gotta be
Tragic, tragic?

In the spirit of full disclosure
After 5 years it was over
Moved out, found an apartment across town
Wrote a whole album about it
Called my sister to cry about it
And listen to Chris Martin sing "Magic" for the 99th time
Left my heart in two dozen states
And got a credit card, couldn't pay it off
Guess sometimes you just surprise yourself
With what you do to move on

Bottom line, I survived yeah
Spent all year being so dramatic
Well it was sad and I was lonely
But I'm standing here alive in this moment
Why's it gotta be, why's it gotta be
Tragic, tragic?

Oh, some days, some days
It's not okay, okay, yeah
But some day, some day
I'm gonna be okay, okay

Bottom line, I survived yeah
Spent all year being so dramatic
Well it was sad and I was lonely
But I'm standing here alive in this moment
Why's it gotta be, why's it gotta be
Tragic, tragic?
