Your friends are all laughing at something you're saying
Maybe you're funny or maybe they're nice
You used to be certain without hesitation
But something is different and now you think twice
Why don't I feel like I should?
Why don't I feel like I should?
You made an equation that you use on occasions
A formula written so you know how to act
It tells you to smile when you're at celebrations
Or to take it down a notch when you should show some tact
Why don't I just feel like I should?
Why don't I feel like I should?
You used to be better at everything that you do
You used to be better but now something is strange
You've got to forget her, you've got to let him go
Hadn't you promised that you would never change?
All these instances chip away at the wood
Until you no longer feel like you should.
Encourage me blindly and I'll encourage you blindly
Together we'll go out and walk into walls
If you need to find me I'll be folding sweaters
If you need to find me I'll be stuck at the mall
Why don't I live like I should?
Why don't I feel like I should?
You used to be better at everything that you do
You used to be better but now something is strange
You've got to forget her, you've got to let him go
Hadn't you promised that you would never change?
All these instances chip away at the wood
Until you no longer feel like you should.
Something has changed
It's incurable, I'm told
Why don't I feel the way I should?
Something has changed
There's a slant all over the world
Why don't I feel the way I
Why won't I feel the way I
Why can't I feel the way I should?
Your friends are all laughing at something you're saying
Maybe you're funny or maybe they're nice.
