Falling Behind

Somebody once told me

That they'd take me as I am

But recently I've noticed

All the things that I was promised

We'll make it fair, you'll be heard

You want respect and that's what you deserve

But recently I've noticed

All the things that I've been promised

Make you think that I'm fine

It could work if I bide my time

Is this real, or a lie?

All the things that can make us happy

I don't wanna be sad like that

We can't always be making it all work

You don't wanna be mad, do you?

I just feel like I'm falling behind

Hard on yourself

Doing your best

But why are you down on everyone else?

Cos recently I've noticed

All the things that I've been promised

Make you think that I'm fine

It could work if I bide my time

Is this real, or a lie?

All the things that can make us happy

Gotta take

What we can

We've been robbed

By the man

Make you think that I'm fine (that I'm fine)

It could work if I bide my time

Is this real, or a lie? (it's a lie)

All the things that can make us happy
