Missing The Mark

Lately I've been thinking 'bout how miserable I've been
Sadness never comforts me, but it's been my best friend
And I could write more lines 'bout how I wish I could see
All the love and friendship all my peers tell me they see

Oh God, I wish
I could be happy for myself
Oh God, I wish
I could be happy for myself

Keeping myself busy so the bad thoughts stay away
Telling myself good things so emotions won't go stray
Battles, always battles, fight the bad side of my brain
No, I'm not alone, but still it sometimes feels that way

Oh God, I wish
I could be happy for myself
Oh God, I wish
I could be happy for myself
Oh God, I wish
I could be happy for myself

It always seems it should be easier than this
