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'
