Lyrics
Hey, dont write yourself off yet, its only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on,
Just try your best, try everything you can, and dont worry what they tell themselves when your away,
It just takes some time, little girl your in the middle of the ride,
everything everything will be just fine,
everything everything will be will be all right.
Hey, you know they're all the same, you know your doing better on your own, so dont buy in,
live right now, just be yourself,
It dosent matter if thats good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl your in the middle of the ride,
everything everything will be just fine,
everything everything will be all right all right!
