Truth is, it's hard being happy
Since you cashed out and you moved out to the valley
Now you're standing alone at some party
Keep stalling, don't tell nobody

You're saying it's alright, it's okay
But you're living for the night everyday, ay
Feel like a shadow right now
Nobody sees you somehow
You got a job, find a way

You keep your head up
Keeping your pride on
Go live forever
Don't ever let 'em forget you
We're all messed up
Ain't nothing to hide from
Go live forever
Don't ever let 'em forget you

I know you're starting to panic
You're right, it's a short life on the planet
Can't fight the wind when it's blowing
You just hold tight and you get where you're going

You're saying it's alright, it's okay
But you're living for the night everyday, ay
Feel like a shadow right now
Nobody sees you somehow
You got a job, find a way

You keep your head up
Keeping your pride on
Go live forever
Don't ever let 'em forget you
We're all messed up
Ain't nothing to hide from
Go live forever
Don't ever let 'em forget you

Not you, oh baby
Not you, go and tell 'em your truth
Don't ever let 'em forget you
Not you, oh baby
Not you, go and tell 'em your truth
Don't ever let 'em forget you

You keep your head up
Keeping your pride on
Go live forever
Don't ever let 'em forget you
Not you
