And although it's going alright
I still can't help but wonderWill I make it to next year?
Will I make it to tomorrow?
Will I make it to bed tonight?And I see everyone
Y'all got a good lifeBut what am I?
And life's like a movie
But with so many plot twists and bad decisions
And life's like a song
With a melody
That makes you kinda suicidalAnd we still sing along with every step we take
Everything is going wrong but
I guess I'm okayI don't work to hard like everyone else
They forget what they really like
And they're just thereWaking up to drink coffee
Going to bed stressing about lifeAnd although it's going alright for you
You still can't help but wonderWill you make it to next year?
Will you make it to tomorrow?
Will you make it to bed tonight?And you see everyone
They have a good lifeAnd you don't
You really don'tSo what are you?
And life's like a movie with tears of joy and tears of sadness
And life's like a song
With lyrics
That tell you to jump off a bridgeAnd we still sing along even though we have no idea what it says
Everything is going wrong
But you still say you're okayYou don't have bruises on your skin
Like other kids
And your parents
They care
But other people's don'tWaking up to screams and shouts
Going to sleep with another red bruiseAnd everyone is drinking
And getting high
Way up to the sky
Way up to the starsAnd you don't really like
That sometimes we think
we're not okay the way we are
And we still try to be
Like everybody elseRacing away to the city
To the suburbs
Because that's better than being aloneBut doesn't it seem ridiculous?
To watch the summer go away
Just like the months you spent in school
At home
At work
Doing what
Everybody else doesAnd although it's going alright
I still can't help but wonderWill we make it to bed tonight?
And every other night?
