"WELCOME TO MY LIFE" Simple Plan As heard on Still Not Getti ng Any... (LAVA)
Words and Music by Simple Plan • Transcribed by Jeff Perrin
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 yourse lf in your room With the radio on turned up so loud that no one hears you screaming
pre-chorus : No, you don't know what it's like when noth ing feels all right You don't know what it's like to be like me
chorus: To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark To be kicked when you're down, to 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 it's 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 the big fake smiles and stupid lies while deep inside you're bleeding
pre -chorus, chorus
No one ever l ies 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 okay Everybody always gave you what you wanted, you never had to work, it was always there You don't know what it's like, what i t's like
To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark To be kicked when you 're down, to 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 it's like
chorus
Welcome to my life, welcome to my life
