You don’t know what you would do were things to work out
If somehow you got by without being put out
You’d rather think that they have ruined everything
That would justify the way you kick and scream

You’ll wake up to find you’re going to be alright

With every kindly word you just can’t help but feel now
That they don’t get you and they never will now
It’s not because you’ve never opened up your heart
It’s that they wouldn’t like you if you started

It’s never been as bad as you have seemed to make it
But you keep waiting on your expectations

You don’t know what you would do with yourself, now
If you had nothing to be fighting mad about
