Down in the dumps I went out to fill my cup I miss the hopelessness Of having someone to love Stuck in a rut I just needed someone to hug Or anything to trick myself Of what I've been dreaming of And I shouldn't have to convince myself That I'm ok everyday It gets so tiring I'll run out of breath No one told me life was fun But I thought I'd be the one So I'll just settle for the simple things I love Don't think it's fair I don't know what happened there Next time I promise that I'll try to be more prepared Try to make a joke It lands flat and I almost choke Everybody wants to make a mark and time only shows I shouldn't have to convince myself That I'm okay everyday It gets so tiring I'll run out of breath No one told me life was fun But I just thought I'd be the one So I'll just settle for the simple things I love
