And regardless of where I may tumble or funnel, I wonder what’s really worthwhile. Sometimes it can seem like a merciless (nightmarish) dream and I’m falling with nothing to hold. Sometimes I get flustered and beaten and blistered, abandoned, outside in the cold. But I’m gonna win. I’m gonna try. I’ll never lose. I’ll never die. You’ve seen me before. You’ll see me again. I’ll never give up. I’ll never give in. ’Til I’m bloody and bruised. ’Til I’ve broken my bones. (That it’s all in my head. There’s no room to be blue.) ’Til I won’t be abused. ’Til I’m laughing alone. (Everything will be fine. I’ll be making it through.) It’s hard to be charming and smart and disarming. It’s hard to keep up with the rest. (It’s hard to pretend you’re the best.) It’s hard to fulfill everyone’s expectations. It’s hard to pretend you’re the best. (It’s hard to keep up with the rest.) But all, all of my friends, Help me go. And all, all of my friends, Let me know, that it’s all in my head. There’s no room to be blue. (’Til I’m bloody and bruised. ’Til I’ve broken my bones.) Everything will be fine. I’ll be making it through. (’Til I won’t be abused. ’Til I’m laughing alone.) How do you feel? You’ve been concealing your worries from the world. [But we’re not so different, you see.] [You wouldn’t know.] [They might assist] [You go on even though, oh] [if they’d really exist, but] [It’s just you and me.] [It’s just myself and I.] [We are all that we need.] [We are all that survives.] [And we are not done. We will not fall.] [And we, we are not done.] [Now that we’re one. Now that we’re whole.] [Don’t you know?] [We’ve fought in the past. We’ve broken our bones.] [The fun’s just begun.] [But now we’ve at last harmonized our tones.] [Here we go.] [We’ll be writing our songs. We’ll be shaping our sound.] [’Til we’ve been here too long and we’re dead in the ground.]
