lyrics

Days like today feel like any other day but somehow the good slips away
The sun puts out heat, but it always skips me
Don't feel bad, it's my fault all the way
'Cause I don't get out, I can't leave my house
Out there I'm oh, so afraid
The people in town, they'll just let you down
In the country, they're also this way

How'd it get so bad?
How'd it get so bad?
Sometimes it feels like I'm living in hell
But I realize with that thinking, I only sabotage myself

This here's a message to that voice in my head:
Quiet down! Please let me rest
Don't be so mean--say nice things instead
I'm good--I don't need to be the best
I'm not schizophrenic--it's just me and you
Come on, let's be friends! We can search for our own truth!
If we can agree, oh, I'll finally be free
Oh, please: just don't tell me what to do!

How'd it get so bad?
How'd it get so bad?
I think I can do this, I guess time will tell
I don't mean to bother, but I think I need your help
Sometimes it feels like I'm living in hell
But I realize with this thinking, I only sabotage myself
