Quarter through my, uh-uh-uh, uh, yeah
Quarter through my life but I got half the patience
Been feelin' trapped with those I backed away from
Dropped all the passions didn't master day one
Now everybody say your affirmations
I'm gon' get better habits, I'm gon' seem less emphatic
'Cause if I pedal back, then it's like it never happened
Quick apologies stay locked and loaded
If I lose a friend, it's like I lost a soul, mm
 
So I just hold on to this nasty feelin'
Until the feelin' goes away
I'm okay
Yeah, I'm great
But there's a creepin', buzzin' feelin' in my brain
It's like livin' in thе shade
Everybody in the sun, I'vе been holdin' all the rain
That's just doin' what it takes
I'm presentin' all the love but I guess it's lookin' fake
I'm just bendin' 'til I break
But, yes, I'm okay
 
Thought we were birds of a feather
But every time that it rains and it pours
You don't stay through the storm
I can't take anymore
Oh, I can't believe I
Thought we would hold through the weather
I just can't sleep, 'cause the stars in the sky
I get lost in their shine
But they're not seemin' bright anymore, yeah
 
Penny for your sufferin'
I've been watchin' you and I can see it bubblin'
Can I ask you how you deal with all the tougher things?
'Cause all my people-pleasin' habits got me wonderin' somethin' like
Mama, do you love me? Daddy, do you care?
Yeah, this life been feelin' ugly and everybody stares at me
Are you there for me? Are you scared for me?
Tell me where to be, and I promise that I'll be there
Look me in the face as if there's somethin' you could see there
Build me up when broken and there's nothin' you could repair
Product of our family, that's somethin' only we share
But what do we care?
 
I looked up to you (Hey), man, I trusted you
But you lied to me (Hey), just like others do
Can our lives proceed? (Hey) That's for us to choose
But now I just seen (Hey) that I'm up to lose
Yeah
 
Thought we were birds of a feather
But every time that it rains and it pours
You don't stay through the storm
I can't take anymore
Oh, I can't believe I
Thought we would hold through the weather
I just can't sleep, 'cause the stars in the sky
I get lost in their shine
But they're not seemin' bright anymore
Sing it, yeah
 
Na, na, na, na, na-na, na, na (Yeah)
Na, na, na-na-na (Na-na, na-na)
Na, na, na-na-na (Ooh-ooh)
Na, na, na, na, na-na, na, na
Na, na, na-na-na-na (Na-na, na-na)
Na, na, na-na-na
 
Thought we were birds of a feather
But you don't know me
I'm not too open
I guess I'm hopin' it don't end lonely
Like it tends to do
