lyrics

It’s Not That Bad
By: Molly Jewell

You would think you’d have a drink and just get over it, but truth be told, as you get old, you just fall more underneath.
And, chances are, you’d be a star still hoping for fame and fortune even though you rake it in and we’re all kissing your feet.

You need to take my advice and just start living your life because you really don’t have time to complain.
‘Cause it’s not, it’s not that bad and you shouldn’t be so sad. So take a shot at not being critical, step outside and give the world a break ‘cause it’s not, it’s not that bad anyway.

I’ve bailed you out, I’ve picked you up, but you still carry on. You roll around, you bottle up, but baby, nothing is wrong.
You need to take my advice and just start living your life because you really don’t have time to complain.
‘Cause it’s not, it’s not that bad and you shouldn’t be so sad. So take a shot at not being critical, step outside and give the world a break ‘cause it’s not, it’s not that bad anyway.
