lyrics

I would love to write a song bout
All the ways you've done me wrong but
I can't figure it out
A song that's in a minor key and
Makes it clear I'm dealing with some
Torment inside of my heart
The lyrics say 'I don't know what to do"
And Middle Schoolers would relate to
The words that I sing
A song about the heartbreak in my life
about my feelings, but here's the thing
I wouldn't mean it

Do you mind if I turn on the radio?
Take notes on some songs from about ten years ago?

I could make a big deal out of
Some real tiny thing but I can't
Bring myself to whine
Complain about my problems
They still happen all the time
And who am I to say that my life isn't going great?
I've got the best of what I have and no two days are quite the same
So sure, I'll write a song about my struggle
Write a song about my troubles
I'll sing it from the heart but from the start you'll know
That I don't mean it

I don't have these problems in my life right about now
So until I do I'll write about the good stuff going down
And maybe when I struggle I'll write better songs than I do now
