The Middle
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World Lyrics

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
Don't give up on yourself just yet

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
The negative thoughts you have about yourself are not true and are just in your head

Just try your best
Put in your best effort

Try everything you can
Explore all the possibilities and options available to you

And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away
Don't let their negative thoughts about you bother you

It just takes some time
Things will get better but it may take some time and effort

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
You are in the midst of an experience that will shape you

Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything will work out in the end

Everything, everything will be all right, all right
Everything will be okay and you'll be fine

Hey, you know they're all the same
People are generally the same and not worth comparing yourself to

You know you're doing better on your own (On your own)
You'll be better off focusing on yourself than trying to keep up with others

So don't buy in
Don't fall for their negativity and doubt

Live right now
Live in the present and make the most of the moment

Yeah, just be yourself
Be true to yourself and don't try to be someone you're not

It doesn't matter if it's good enough (Good enough)
You don't have to meet anyone else's standards or expectations

For someone else
Don't live your life to please someone else

And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (Bitter hearts)
Don't let their negativity affect you even if they are bitter and negative

Are gonna say
They will say things about you but it doesn't define who you are
