Good News
Mac Miller Lyrics

I spent the whole day in my head
I was lost in thought all day, unable to focus on the outside world

Do a little spring cleaning, I'm always too busy dreaming
I need to organize and clear my mind, but I keep getting distracted by my thoughts and fantasies

Well, maybe I should wake up instead
Perhaps I should stop daydreaming and face reality

A lot of things I regret but I just say I forget
I have many regrets, but I try to ignore them and pretend they don't bother me

Why can't it just be easy?
I wish life wasn't so complicated and challenging

Why does everybody need me to stay?
I feel pressure to fulfill other people's expectations and obligations

Oh, I hate the feeling
I despise the emotions and thoughts that are overwhelming me

When you're high but you're underneath the ceiling
I feel like I should be happy and satisfied, but something is holding me back

Got the cards in my hand, I hate dealing
I have control over my life, but I don't enjoy making tough decisions and taking responsibilities

Get everything I need, then I'm gone
I acquire what I want and leave, never staying in one place for too long

But it ain't stealing
I obtain what I need through legitimate means

Can I get a break?
I need some rest and relief from my struggles

I wish that I could just get out my goddamn way
I wish I could overcome my self-doubt and destructive tendencies

What is there to say?
I don't know what to express or how to articulate my feelings

There ain't a better time than today
The present moment is the best opportunity to face and overcome my problems

Maybe I'll lay down for a little, yeah
I might take a break from everything and just rest for a bit

'Stead of always trying to figure everything out
Instead of constantly overthinking and analyzing everything, I'll take a break

And all I do is say sorry
I apologize a lot, even when I'm not entirely sure what I'm apologizing for

Half the time, I don't even know what I'm saying it about
I often apologize without fully understanding or acknowledging my mistakes

That's all they wanna hear
People only want to hear good news and positive things, not problems or struggles

No, they don't like it when I'm down
People don't enjoy seeing others unhappy or miserable

But when I'm flying, oh, it make 'em so uncomfortable
On the other hand, people may also feel uncomfortable or jealous when others succeed and thrive

So different, what's the difference?
People are often judged and treated differently based on their success and wealth, despite being fundamentally the same

When it ain't that bad
Things could be worse, and I should be grateful for my blessings

It could always be worse
I should maintain perspective, even in difficult times

I'm running out of gas, hardly anything left
I'm exhausted and depleted, with little energy or motivation left

Hope I make it home from work
I'm unsure if I have the strength and endurance to complete my responsibilities and make it home safely

Why I gotta build something beautiful just to go set it on fire?
Why do I constantly self-sabotage and ruin the good things in my life?

I'm no liar, but sometimes the truth don't sound like the truth
I'm honest, but sometimes the reality of my situation is hard to accept or convey

Maybe 'cause it ain't, I just love the way it sound when I say it
Perhaps my optimism and positivity are not entirely grounded in reality, but I enjoy the comfort they provide me

If you know me, it ain't anything new
People who know me are aware of my tendencies and character traits

Wake up to the moon, haven't seen the sun in a while
I'm experiencing nighttime more often than daytime, representing my current state of depression or isolation

But I heard that the sky's still blue, yeah
Despite my pessimism and sadness, the world and universe continue to exist and function

Heard they don't talk about me too much no more
I am no longer the main topic of conversation or attention among others

And that's a problem with a closed door
That realization can be painful and lonely, but it is ultimately necessary for growth and change

There's a whole lot more for me waiting on the other side
There are many opportunities and possibilities available to me, if I can overcome my current struggles

I'm always wondering if it feels like summer
I'm uncertain if I will ever experience happiness or contentment again

I know maybe I'm too late, I could make it there some other time
I may have missed out on some opportunities, but I still have time to pursue new ones

I'll finally discover
I will eventually find meaning and purpose in my life

At least it don't gotta be no more
I can let go of my worries and struggles, and find some relief and peace

Hey
A simple expression of acknowledgement or greeting

Mm, hey, mm
A musical interlude or transition
