Don't Say It Could Be Worse Lyrics

Sunken sailor

Whose life was obsolete

They're still waiting at the harbor



You came in here

Sea salt in your eyes

"It always feels worst when you've got

Nothing to be sad about"



Sent-away daughter

Who never had a chance

He's going to keep her as his own now



You came in here

Wedding rings around your eyes

"There must be something wrong with me

I lost my faith, inexplicably"



Medieval merchant

Who didn't know his rights

He's going to carry red-hot iron bars



You came in here

Heavy weights under your eyes

"I'd rather go back home again

And I don't know why I keep trying"



Former waitress

Whose life doesn't seem to end

90 years of living is too much when you're on your own



You came in here

Fake wrinkles around your eyes

"I'd better put an end to this

As long as my mind is clear enough"



A silver plate and I lose my sense

Then I'm back to prove my competence

More silver plates and again, my sense



You're just guessing so don't say it could be worse

You're just guessing so don't say it could be worse

You're just guessing so don't say it could be worse

You're just guessing so don't say it could be worse
