You keep saying that things will change,
It's time you wonder, will they ever?
You keep praying they go away, all your problems, all the drama.

Why are you so sad? (Why are you so sad?)
These are the best few years you'll ever have
Things just ain't so bad.
Just another subtle way for you to say your miserable and lonely
Don't grow up too fast must take a chance
We can start this over

There's almost nothing we can't get through
So just remember it's getting better
When things get tough just keep on breathing
Hour by hour, just keep on moving

Why are you so sad? (Why are you so sad?)
These are the best few years you'll ever have
Things just ain't so bad.
Just another subtle way for you to say your miserable and lonely
Don't grow up too fast, must take a chance
We can start this over

I was drowning in the distance
There's no way you could ever miss this
Such a shame you'd watch me sink alone.
I took a stand and faced the world
It's a bitter time you began to turn
I realized now there's no way I could stop
So here I am alive and strong
Not on a string to carry on
Just like soldiers we'll be marching on

Why are you so sad? (Why are you so sad)
These are the best few years you'll ever have
Things just ain't so bad.
Just another subtle way for you to say your miserable and lonely
Don't grow up too fast must take a chance
We can start this over

Let's go

Why are you so sad? (Why are you sad?)
Things just ain't so bad.
