ORDER AND LYRICS
INTRO
VERSE &
Hey, Don’t write yourself of yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try you’re best
Try everything you can
And don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away
CHORUS &
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
VERSE &
Hey, you know they’re all the same
You know you’re doing better on your own so don’t buy in
Live right now
Just be yourself
It doesn’t matter if that’s good enough for someone else
CHORUS &
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
SOLO
VERSE &
Hey, Don’t write yourself of yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Do your best
Do everything you can
Don’t you worry what their bitter hearts are gonna’ say
CHORUS &
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
THAT’S IT
