READ THIS!!!
Hey guuuuys... this is a song that I co-wrote in Nashville with an awesome writer named Cheley Tackett... we sat down to write a happy song and this is what we came up with! hahaa.... It's NOT a final version but I just wanted to share some of the stuff that I've been working on... Also, sorry about my mediocre editing skills. This was my first attempt at doing anything fancy-ish so don't juuuudge :) I really hope you guys like it!!

written by: Drew Tabor and Chelley Tacket
all the production stuff was done by Joe Pasquale
all of the video stuff was done by MEEEE :D

LYRICS:
Your world is dark and cold and lost
Your happiness it comes with a cost
I know you're broken, I see it in your eyes
You wear your smile like a sad disguise

Why you gotta be so tragic
Why you gotta be so down
Coming back like an addict
Sink or swim, you'd rather drown

You say "I love you" twist the words
You hear laughter in minor chords
It's not all heartbreak, it's not all tears
It's longed-for, and hopeful and breathless, and color

Why you gotta be so tragic
Why you gotta be so down
Coming back like an addict
Sink or swim, you'd rather drown

It's okay, it's alright
You'll find your strength, you'll find your light

Why you gotta be so tragic
Why you gotta be so down
You might miss the magic
If you don't come around x2

ps- in case it wasn't painfully obvious I just want to let you know that some of my acting was supposed to be a little cheesy and over-the-top... I'm a horrible actress so I thought I'd go for the whole crazy, slightly comedic thing! ahahaa

If by any chance you wanted to cover this song the chords are..
G, Dsus, Em7, Cadd9 for the verses and chorus.. I'm honestly not sure how to play the bridge so I usually just skip it if I'm playing it live! HAHA
