Show you the world from my point of view.
[Refrain]

Only if you care to listen
A# D#m
Only if you give me your ear,

[Verse 4]
D#m
Wallowing in self-pity and madness,

Getting tired of feeling so crappy

At one point you just choose to be happy.
[Refrain]
A# D#m
You just decide to get up and do.
A# D#m
Do what needs to be done for you.

Slightly depressed.

Wish me the best,
D#m
I feel so blessed.
