lyrics

I need confidence to tell my friends I love them
Platonic or not they're the best ones that I've got
I hope they're not overwhelmed like I am
I just want them to know before we go and rot

Is it weird for me to emote
Is it weird to find a scapegoat in myself
Cuz I blame the problems instead of solve them
On my wilting conscious, no hope of solace
Then you say hey that's life

Sometimes it's okay to say it's not my fault
I deserve the people in my life

I need reassurance the path i'm on is right
That my daily actions are true to who I am
When schooling always seemed so black and white
Like right and wrong are all that could ever be

Is it weird to lose all hope
Is it weird that I cope with comedy
If I make a fool of myself that's cool
I don't care if I sink the eight ball too
Cuz hey, that's just life
Sometimes it's okay to say it's not my fault
I deserve the people in my life

I'm not going anywhere
Without the ones who got me here
I'm not doing anything
Without thanking those who care
I'm not going anywhere
Without the ones who got me here
I'm not doing anything
Without thanking those who care
I'm thanking those who care
