But Not For Me

It feels like the world's pressing down on my head
And life's hanging on by a thread
"It works out just wait and see"
That might work for you but it don't for me
Now the world's in your grasp
But everything I have slips through my hands
And no one hears me when I scream
It's all ears for you
But not for me
Some people have it all
But I was born with my back to the wall
Path of life
You know where it leads
But not for me
I been having complications
Since I was conceived
It feels like a switch
Was never flipped for me
Shit is hard
And it only gets worse
Your life: a gift
My life: a curse
You got love from birth
With room on Earth
How it will always be
But not for me
Some people have it all
But I was born with my back to the wall
But not for me
Path of life
You know where it leads
But not for me
When you fall
A hand lifts you up
But not for me
No one gives a fuck
That's the way it'll always be
They want the world for you
What about me
"It gets better"
You know that's true
It's easy enough to make it through when you know
The world made room for you
The world
(The world)
Made room
(Made room)
For you...
(For you)
...but not for me
