Don’t overthink it

Even if you feel like sinking

Time will tell the tales of tomorrow

Sorrow will only get you so far

Only get you so so so so so so far

And it’s easy to believe

That everything will be handed to you on a plate

And it’s easy to concede

To the doubt that’s rife

That pulls you down

But strengths comes

To those who wait

Stand strong

Believe in fate

Believe in fate

Believe in fate

CHORUS

Secondhand lemonade

Still tastes the fucking same

But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
