Lyrics: 
 
Verse 1 - 
hey, don't write yourself off yet  
it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on  
just try your best  
try everything you can  
and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away  
 
Verse 2 - 
hey, you know they're all the same  
you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in  
live right now  
just be yourself  
it doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else  
 
Chorus - 
it just takes some time  
little girl, you're in the middle of the ride  
everything everything will be just fine  
everything everything will be all right  
 
Verse 3 - 
do your best  
do everything you can  
don't you worry what thier bitter hearts are going to say
