[Intro]
Yeah-yeah, oh-oh-oh yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
When the hell did I get such thin skin?
Who is this person that I'm livin in?
I can break out and without anyone in
I can handle rain, but when it's starts pouring

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess this shit is real now (Real now)
I can't escape and run away from what I feel now (Feel now)
Wish I could get back some confidence
So I can see there's more than life behind this broken fence

[Chorus]
But ain't gonna waste my time, 'cause it's a waste of time
I can't be worry about that bullshit, I just can't fix
Just pick yourself back up, you're gonna be just fine
Yeah, you'll be just fine

[Verse 2]
Please, don't tell me that is just not fair
You spent your whole life playin' truth or dare
Fucked up a few times, maybe here or there
But I'ma make it up next time, I swear



[Pre-Chorus]
I guess this shit is real now (Real now)
I can't escape and run away from what I feel now (Feel now)
'Til I hear a knock knock,""Open up, it's your life
We gon' be alright if we can make it through the night""

[Chorus]
We ain't gonna waste our time, 'cause it's a waste of time
We can't be worry about that bullshit, we just can't fix
Just pick yourself back up, you're gonna be just fine
Yeah, you'll be just fine
You'll be just fine
I think it's time we rearrange
Don't worry, don't waste your time
You'll be just fine

[Bridge]
You know that you are so much more
Than whoever you been looking for
You've been all around the world to find your way back home
Just to see that it was here waiting all along
Some days that we can feel so strong
And other days are barely holding on
Just need to get back to confidence
So we can see there's more than life behind this broken fence


[Chorus]
So we're not gonna waste our time, 'cause it's a waste of time
It's a waste of time, yeah
Just pick yourself up of the floor, you'll be just fine
Yeah, you'll be just fine
You'll be just fine
I think it's time we rearrange




Don't worry, don't waste your time
You'll be just fine
