[Verse 1]
I can't flip through a channel on TV
Without seeing another taunting movie

They portray life so unrealistically
As if life was full of happy endings
I can't stop watching/Can't stop wondering

Will anything good ever happen to me
It's doubtful considering how long I've been waiting
On the edge of a cliff yelling "I need saving"

I'm holding on thinking which will break first
The ledge from my weight/Or my heart from the hurt
The edge begins to crack as my grip starts to loosen

A question arrives/Did I have any other option

[Pre-Chorus 1]

When my mouth starts moving mostly complaints come out
No one takes notice to what I'm whining about
They say I need to get over or ignore my problems

Maybe it'd make a difference if they actually listened

[Chorus 1]

You're wrong when you say I have no reason to complain
You think I'm just crying out for attention
You don't understand me/I won't bother to explain

Because you've never been in my position
Your experiences are different than mine
Due to how our lives function

I'm the darkness at night/You make the day shine
You will never be in my position


[Verse 2]
I've tried several approaches to cure my disease
But each was a failure that ended badly

I'm being sucked dry by these insatiable leeches
That keep giving me permanent illnesses
Isn't there anything I can do

To ease the suffering I'm going through
I'll gladly exchange anything I have in excess
If it means gaining the one thing I don't possess


[Pre-Chorus 2]
When my mouth starts moving mostly complaints come out

No one takes notice to what I'm whining about
They say I need to get over or ignore my problems
Maybe it'd make a difference if they actually listened

Do you have any idea what's like to be me
Why am I wasting my breath cause obviously
I'm not important to you/Never will be

One of these days it'll be you whose in need

[Chorus 2]

You're wrong when you say I have no reason to complain
You think I'm just crying out for attention
You don't understand me/I won't bother to explain

Because you've never been in my position
Your experiences are different than mine
Due to how our lives function

I'm the darkness at night/You make the day shine
You will never be in my position


[Bridge Part 1]
I can't stop wondering
Will anything good ever happen to me


[Bridge Part 2]
Event after event/One tragedy after the next

I anticipate failing in every context
I recognize it'll go from bad to worse
This is my life/This is my curse


[Chorus 3]
You're wrong when you say I have no reason to complain

You think I'm just crying out for attention
You don't understand me/I won't bother to explain
Because you've never been in my position

Your experiences are different than mine
Due to how our lives function
I'm the darkness at night/You make the day shine
You will never be in my position
