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
