I have a couple friends
But we don't hang out anymore
When we do anything
They always act like they are bored
I care and I pretend I don't
But I'm okay though

Mom and dad were fighting
And I tried to intervene
It didn't help at all, it made it worse if anything
I cried until I fell asleep but I'm okay though

Everybody tells me
I have to believe
The bad feelings will go away eventually
I try but I swear it always seems
Like it comes to them so easily
And I'm stuck at the part where
I pretend I'm happy
While I'm waiting
For it to get better for me

I wish that I was different
Wish that I was someone else
I know that I should probably
Tell someday I need help
But it's easier for me to say
That I'm okay though
I realize I'm not the only one who feels this way
So why should I prioritize
Myself when that's the case
I'll suck it up another day, but
I'm okay though

Everybody tells me
I have to believe
The bad feelings will go away eventually
I try but I swear it always seems
Like it comes to them so easily
And I'm stuck at the part where
I pretend I'm happy
While I'm waiting
For it to get better for me

(Hmmm)

Everybody tells me
I have to believe
The bad feelings will go away eventually
I try but I swear it always seems
Like it comes to them so easily
And I'm stuck at the part where
I pretend I'm happy
While I'm waiting
