Lyrics:

Verse 1 -

hey, don't write yourself off yet

it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on

just try your best

try everything you can

and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

Verse 2 -

hey, you know they're all the same

you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in

live right now

just be yourself

it doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else

Chorus -

it just takes some time

little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

everything everything will be just fine

everything everything will be all right

Verse 3 -

do your best

do everything you can

don't you worry what thier bitter hearts are going to say
