do you ever feel like breaking down
do you ever feel out of place
like somehow you just don’t belong, and no one understands you
do you ever wanna run away
do you lock youself in your room, with the radio on turned up so loud that no one hears you screaming
no you don’t know what its like, when nothing feels all right
you don’t know what its like to be like me
to be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark
to be kicked when your down, feel like you’ve been pushed around
to be on the edge of breaking down and no one’s there to save you
no you don’t know what its like, welcome to my life
do you wanna be somebody else
are you sick of feeling so left out
are you desperate to find something more before your life is over
are you stuck inside a world you hate
are you sick of everyone around
with their big fake smiles and stupid lies, while deep inside your bleeding
no one ever lied straight to your face
and no one ever stabbed you in the back
you might think i’m happy but i’m not gonna be o.k
everybody always gave you what you wanted
you never had to work it was always there
you don’t know what its like, what it’s like
-simple plan “welcome to my life”
the point of posting a song…i don’t know it’s just the way i feel at the moment
comment if you want but nothing negative please i feel crappy enough

Answer to your question, **daydreamer23** : Yes.
Weak solution: Try to laugh at yourself. No-one is going to do _that_ for you. The world - most people - are indifferent. Even knowing you’re not the most happiest person alive, won’t get you any sympathy. [Except for wonderful people like **lavenderviolet**.] So, better to pretent all is well and \* you\* are different! And go with the flow.
All my best to you.

Jesus, that describes me from ages 13-25. Some of it still applies.
Are you going to be ok? If you’d like, you can email me. I may not have any words of wisdom or even any answers, but I’m more than glad to listen. I’ll be out for most of the morning, but I will reply to you at some point today. Do take care.

Off topic I suppose, but since you posted the lyrics, did someone make a bet with Simple Plan that they couldn’t write the most cliched song of all time? Wonder how much the band won for that.

Another off-topic post, but just thought I’d make you aware the the mods normally don’t appreciate the reposting of lyrics because of copywrite concerns. That being said, I really feel for you. I’ve felt very lost in the world many a time, but things just always have a way of working out. Things that need to happen will happen in time. Life rewards the patient.
