Just go ahead and smile,
Mr. Worrypants it's been quite a while,
Since I've seen that grin of yours.
Spend some time reminiscing
what you're missing
don't forget you've been a dear old friend of mine,
Mr. Worrypants it's been quite a while.
So think of all the days of dreaming
not the burdens in your life
green eyed monsters hide away
please don't reach out for that old kitchen knife, pretend.
'cause you know that you're my friend you can't deny
you've got some coming clean to do before you die.
Just go ahead and laugh
'cause you know you can be happy and a half
if you wipe your tears and try, don't be daft.
'Cause you know it's not the end of this
a thousand times you will be missed
it's far too early for goodbye.
Mr. Worrypants it's been quite a while.
So think of all the days of dreaming
not the burdens in your life
green eyed monsters hide away
please don't reach out for that old kitchen knife, pretend.
'cause you know that you're my friend you can't deny
you've got some coming clean to do before you die.
You've got some coming clean to do
and I know that I have too
you've got some coming clean to do before you die.
So think of all the days of dreaming
not the burdens in your life
green eyed monsters hide away
please don't reach out for that old kitchen knife, pretend.
'cause you know that you're my friend you can't deny
you've got some coming clean to do before you die.

Can't Stand It

This is it,
another day where I will sit,
and waste away.
The same old story,
gets kinda boring
and now I've ran out of things to say.
I'll crawl away inside my mind,
find some better place to hide.
Hold my tears and pray,
that this will be the very last day
where I'm feeling like this
'cause I can't stand it.
My mind is aching
and medication
never seems to make it dissappear.
I'll fake a smile,
just for a while
pretend that I am grinning ear to ear.
I'll crawl away inside my mind,
find some better place to hide.
Hold my tears and pray,
that this will be the very last day
where I'm feeling like this
'cause I can't stand it.
And we both know,
just where this will go.
There's only one way out
and I've talked about it
screamed and shouted I've even doubted,
I just wanna scream.
And the pain inside it tears at my skin
I can't escape the mess that I am in.
The fact that I am stuck inside my head
makes it pointless even getting out of bed,
'cause i'm feeling like this
and I can't stand it.

I've been crying about yesterday
all the things they'd do and words they'd say.
I still hear it all played in my head
every single word they said.
Now I start to feel the pain again
I kept in locked up deep inside my brain.
I've ran out of way and it's kept me awake for days
and now I fear the things I hear from all the things I've seen.
I'll try, I know I'll make it through
but it just feels so hard to do
when you feel like you're gonna lose.
I'll take some time some time to put things straight
but I'll just have to sit and wait for things to change.
But it feels like I'm waiting every day.
Sick of everyone and everything
and terrified of what the future brings.
It feels like nothing's left and giving up is for the best
'cause this pain is too real.
Tried so hard to let go of the past
but blocking out those things it never lasts.
I try to fall asleep 'cause every day I feel so week
there's nothing left to do.
But try, I know I'll make it through
but it just feels so hard to do
when you feel like you're gonna lose.
I'll take some time some time to put things straight
but I'll just have to sit and wait for things to change.
But it feels like I'm waiting every day.
Smile, nothing easy is worthwhile.
But try, I know I'll make it through
but it just feels so hard to do
when you feel like you're gonna lose.
I'll take some time some time to put things straight
but I'll just have to sit and wait for things to change.
But it feels like I'm waiting every day.
