Welcome To My Life


I know this is an old song but Simple Plan is my favorite band and this song seems to be really fitting right now; it's pretty much how I've been feeling lately. I feel like Molly is my only friend these days since we spend practically all of our time together. I talk to a select few friends from home, but to many others I feel like I'm making dead attempts to keep up with them over the summer. I'm looking forward to start working all day every day next week and I can't wait till everyone starts moving back down here in a few weeks. I miss my friends more than ever right now and I'm going crazy all alone in my dungeon every night!!

"Welcome To My Life"

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

Jillybean,
You'll be okay. You're just going through growing pains. You're getting older and life changes, and not all for the bad. Look for the good that has happened this summer. We miss you a lot and can't wait to see you again.

welcome to college.
it's sad, but high school friends begin to fade away, except a small few. your college friends grow closer because you "do life with them." they'll be the ones you'll know and stay in contact with after graduation. wherever you go, your new friends will be waiting to meet you!

Actually, contrary to what Justin said, my closest friends are still my friends from high school. It's possible it's because I didn't move away until jr. year, but my friends from home are the ones I keep in contact with the most. Anyway, if you ever need anything, you know my number.
