I woke up in the morning
And I felt the urge to fall off
My bed so I could maybe
Have a good reason to call off
The things I had to do that day
The places that I had to be
The things I had to say
I sat there for an hour
As the sun was slowly rising
Growing up, it ain't as good
As they were advertising
The same routine put on replay
I close my eyes while wishing
I might up and float away
And I know it's ungrateful
To be so very hateful
At this age, but
Give me a break
I'm allowed to feel
I'm allowed to steal
A couple of moments for myself
To wish I could be, like, anywhere else
I'm allowed to say
That I'm not okay
Don't make me put it back on the shelf
Bring out the cake and balloons
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
And I threw it for me
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party (and it's blue as can be)
I'm working for somebody
Putting money in their pocket
My stress level's been climbing
Higher than a flipping rocket
I'm trying not to lose my brain
Staring a screen for hours
Man, I'm bout to go insane
I tell myself to suck it up
And take it like a woman
But I look into the mirror
And I think, "What am I doing?"
I'm watching all my dreams just fade
And it kills me deep inside to think
I'm still chasin' a grade
So is it all that shameful
To say my days are painful
At this age?
Give me a break
I'm allowed to feel
I'm allowed to steal
A couple of moments for myself
To wish I could be, like, anywhere else
I'm allowed to say
That I'm not okay
Don't make me put it back on the shelf
Bring out the cake and balloons
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
And I threw it for me
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party (and it's blue as can be)
I'm allowed to feel
I'm allowed to steal
A couple of moments for myself
To wish I could be, like, anywhere else
I'm allowed to say
That I'm not okay
Don't make me put it back on the shelf
Bring out the cake and balloons
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
And I threw it for me
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
And it's blue as can be
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
And I threw it for me
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
It's a pity party
And it's blue as can be
