When I'm done with thinking  then I'm done with you.
When I'm done with crying  then I'm done with you. 
When I feel so tired  then I'm done with you. 
Everybody feels this way sometimes  everybody feels this way 

And I do. 
You can't hear it  but I do. 
You can't hear it  but I do. 
You're trying to convince me that what I've done's not right. 

I get so frustrated  I stay up every night. 
You ask me for an answer  and I'm so tired and I'm up in the air. 
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way 
And I do. 

You can't hear it, but I do. 
You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way just because you say 
I will be ignored. 
I will be denied. 

I could be erased. 
I could be brushed aside 
I will get scared, and I will get shoved down, 
But I feel like I do because you push me around. 

I'm starting to ignore you, I've doubted you so long. 
I'm tired of overthinking, I know you don't belong. 
Now I'm asking questions - no one pushes me around. 
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way - 

And I do. 
You can't hear it, but I do. 
You don't seem angry, but I do. 
I do.
