I know what you're goin' through boy
I know how dark it can get
You gotta turn away from the voices
That say you're not allowed to win
Cuz you prove them right every time you choose to lose
So feel alone if you're lonely
Let yourself cry if you're feelin' blue
But try to smile when you're happy
Let yourself feel the good things too
You think you don't deserve better
You're the first volunteer for the short stick
This world don't care for martyrs
Can't you see you're just makin' yourself sick
No one's waitin' for you to come in out of the rain
So feel alone if you're lonely
And let yourself cry if you're feelin' blue
But try to smile and be happy
Yea ya gotta let yourself really feel them good things too
You've become addicted to bein' down
And beatin' yourself up for things
No one's even thinkin' about
So be ashamed if you're really guilty
And let yourself cry till the skies are blue
But then smile and be happy
Let yourself feel the good things too
Yea ya gotta let yourself really feel them good things too
I know what you're goin' through boy
I know just how dark it can get
