​don’t cry

[Chorus]
I had a friend reach out and tell me
"I've got a lot up on my plate"
I told her don't you ever worry
You got me when times are grey
She said, "Nathan, I feel ugly
No one understands my pain
And my parents never listen
I'd rather die than feel this way"

[Verse]
Don't cry, don't die
Give it two years, it'll only take time
And you're never ever ugly with a smile that bright
No, your parents don't listen, but I swear they wanna try
Know you're stressed, and depressed, and your hair is a mess
But you're cute when you lose or you're mad at your friends
And I hate when you cry every time that I said
"Oh I love when you're here, I don't want this to end"
Can we not talk school for once, it makes me nauseous
Everyone in class is either mean or real obnoxious
And I'm sorry that I said it, but I felt so fuckin' lost
It's like my life is just a token, either spent it or you lost it
Here I'm sittin', eye inside the storm ensuing
Waiting, being patient for the rain to ruin
Everything I've ever loved or ever touched
Or ever gave a fuck about
I'm sorry that I hurt you, friend
I'm sorry that I let you down

[Bridge]
And I, don't care, I'll always be there
No, I won't give up on you
And I, don't care, I'll always be there
No, I won't give up on you

[Chorus]
I had a friend reach out and tell me
"I've got a lot up on my plate"
I told her don't you ever worry
You got me when times are grey
She said, "Nathan, I feel ugly
No one understands my pain
And my parents never listen
I'd rather die than feel this way"
