My life's a mess.
And I'm trying to grow.
They think I'm strong.
But they are so wrong.

Life is too short to be afraid.
So I'd take a pill to numb the pain.
And I don't have to take the blame.

The pause buttons broke on my video.
This is real but I feel fake.
Oprah Winfrey, Ricki Lake.
Please don't teach me things that I don't need to know.

'Cause when I'm in my darkest hours,
All of the light just fades away.
And I'm like a flower,
Whose colours have turned to shades of gray.

There's no longer that warmth I used to feel.
The rain was never cold when I was young.
The sun is shining right through my window,
I'd ask, "Can I step into the sun?"

Soon I'll be smiling once again.
Then I won't have to feel it.
Let it go with the wind.
Time passes me by,
And know that I'm allowed to cry.
