She's off chasin' poison She's got that taste in her mouth Once she gets enough of a good thing There ain't no washin' it out And the cracks begin to form And the dams begin to break down deep in her heart Waitin' on a silver linin She's hoping for the best she can give Thinkin' that it's better lyin' idle ain't no way to live She's waitin' on a silver linin' And when a little girl grows up in an crippled world She finds it hard forget And the memories turn to roast And the dust is kickin' up And there's so much to fix Now the faults of someone else Have now become the basis of fires she can start Waitin' on a silver linin She's hoping for the best she can give Thinkin' that it's better lyin' idle ain't no way to live She's waitin' on a silver linin' And for so long She was so gone But she held on When there's nothin' good at livin' in the past She stopped lookin' back Waitin' on a silver linin She's hoping for the best she can give Thinkin' that it's better lyin' idle ain't no way to live She's waitin' on a silver linin'
