Somebody once told me That they'd take me as I am But recently I've noticed All the things that I was promised We'll make it fair, you'll be heard You want respect and that's what you deserve But recently I've noticed All the things that I've been promised Make you think that I'm fine It could work if I bide my time Is this real, or a lie? All the things that can make us happy I don't wanna be sad like that We can't always be making it all work You don't wanna be mad, do you? I just feel like I'm falling behind Hard on yourself Doing your best But why are you down on everyone else? Cos recently I've noticed All the things that I've been promised Make you think that I'm fine It could work if I bide my time Is this real, or a lie? All the things that can make us happy Gotta take What we can We've been robbed By the man Make you think that I'm fine (that I'm fine) It could work if I bide my time Is this real, or a lie? (it's a lie) All the things that can make us happy
