Haven't Been Doing So Well |
| It’s a day with a Y in it, so obviously I’m over it |
| I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired |
| And I’ve tried not to worry, and I’ve tried being sorry |
| For being born in the wrong place at the wrong time |
| 'Cause I’ve been messed up, stressed out, talking to myself again |
| Locked up, left out, terrified of everything |
| Wound up, found out, waiting round for something to give |
| Don’t you ever wake up and suspect |
| That you were simply never cut out to be |
| The kind of person they expect |
| The person you intended to be? |
| And I keep it all in with my idiot grin |
| And I’m doing my best, but there’s very little left |
| So cut me some slack if I crawl back into my shell |
| I haven’t been doing so well |
| I haven’t been doing so well |
| I got a brand new name for an old, old friend |
| The doctor said it’s «anxiety» |
| And it makes a lot of sense 'cause I’ve been so tense |
| Some days I find it difficult to see |
| 'Cause I’ve been hemmed in, penned down, struggling to find myself |
| Caved in, cut down, scared of everybody else |
| Dragged in, dragged down, searching for a reason to live |
| Don’t you ever wake up and suspect |
| That you were simply never cut out to be |
| The kind of person they expect |
| The person you intended to be? |
| And I keep it all in with my idiot grin |
| And I’m doing my best, but there’s very little left |
| So cut me some slack if I crawl back into my shell |
| I haven’t been doing so well |
| Couldn’t you tell? |
| If self loathing was a sport, I’d be Muhammad Ali |
| 'Cause I can sting like a butterfly and sink like a bee |
| But they don’t hand out medals to monsters like me |
| Oh well |
| I haven’t been doing so well |
| Maybe I could do with some help |
| I haven’t been doing so well |
| Maybe I could do with some help |
| 'Cause every day I wake up and suspect |
| That I was simply never cut out to be |
| The kind of person they expect |
| The person I intended to be |
| 'Cause I’m not Joe Strummer, not Muhammad Ali |
| Not a teacher, not a builder, just uncomfortable me |
| And maybe, just maybe, I’ll admit that I could use a little help |
| I haven’t been doing so well |
