lyrics

All my life I've felt really, really bad, and all my life I've been trying to make up for that, but a lifetime of searching, a lifetime of wishing is what I had.

all my life i've felt really, really bad
and all my life I've been trying to make up for that
but a lifetime of searching, a lifetime of wishing is what i had

i can't remember the last time i felt good
i can't remember the last time i woke up feeling fine
without an underlying lie or a disguise to hide behind

oh my god it's getting so unbearable -
the way we treat each other and ourselves like we don't care at all

all my life i've felt worried and upset
and all my life i've never gotten used to it
because a worried, upset person is just a worried, upset person
don't you know?

sometimes there are just things that a person can't control

oh, you gotta change if you're trying to grow

and i don't want to stay the same forever, that's what dying's for
