[Lyrics]

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.

Lyrics

Hey, dont write yourself off yet, its only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on,
Just try your best, try everything you can, and dont worry what they tell themselves when your away,

It just takes some time, little girl your in the middle of the ride,
everything everything will be just fine,
everything everything will be will be all right.

Hey, you know they're all the same, you know your doing better on your own, so dont buy in,
live right now, just be yourself,
It dosent matter if thats good enough for someone else.

It just takes some time, little girl your in the middle of the ride,
everything everything will be just fine,
everything everything will be all right all right!

Lyrics

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle,
it'll up the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be
alright (alright).


Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

It just takes some time,
little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be
alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be
alright (alright).


[Guitar solo]

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be
alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be
alright (alright)
