Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sittin' here in my problem
What am I gonna do now?
Am I gonna make it?
Some way, somehow
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe I'm not supposed to know
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
And if nobody ever knows the way I feel
That's alright, that's okay
[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm gonna make my world a better place
I'm gon' keep that smile on my face
I'm gon' teach myself how to understand
I'm gon' make myself a better man, yeah
[Verse 4]
Climbin' out the window
Climbin' up the wall
Is anybody gonna save me
Or are they gonna let me fall
[Verse 5]
Well, I don't really wanna know
I just hold on the best I can
And if I fall down
I'm gonna get back up
It'll be alright, it'll be okay
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm gonna make my world a better place
I'm gon' keep that smile on my face
I'm gon' teach myself how to understand
I'm gonna make myself a better man, oh
[Verse 7]
Maybe I'm not supposed to know
And maybe I'm supposed to cry
And if nobody ever know the way I feel
Well, that's alright, that's okay
[Verse 8]
Yeah, I'm gonna make world a better place
I'm gon' keep that smile on my face
I'm gon' teach myself how to understand
I'm gon' make myself a better man
[Verse 9]
Well, I'm gonna make my world a better place
I'm gon' keep that smile on my face
I'm gon' teach myself how to understand
I'm gon' make myself a better man, yeah yeah
[Verse 10]
Heartache gonna let me fall
(no, no, no, no, no)
Well
