Bandage Lyrics

Wake up

Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed

But I push through it

Remember that one time I said

I wished I could be somebody else instead

Someone who had a clear head

Get on with my life

I've got no other choice

My friends ask me

If I'm having trouble with boys

I'm fine

I glue on another smile

Yet, everybody knows it

So

Day in, day out

Every word I hear is sorry

Be strong, you're fine

Don't be so dramatic

It's not as simple as you say

Pity words won't make it okay

It's not as easy as just putting on a bandage, no

It's not something you understand

These are memories that I can't erase

And they're just too deep to heal it with a bandage

Oooh, oh

Oooh

Walk home

Feeling lost as I walk down the streets

Though I know exactly where I should be

Somewhere I can pour it out and let it free

A place to hide away from me

My family says sometimes I need to get out more

I try to play pretend

But the sun's not what it was before

I'm fine

At least that's what I wish they'd think

Yet, everybody knows it

And

Day in, day out

The tunnel's only getting longer

The light they talk about

Is getting dimmer

It's not as simple as you say

Pity words won't make it okay

It's not as easy as just putting on a bandage, no

It's not something you understand

These are memories that I can't erase

And they're just too deep to heal it with a bandage

Oooh, oh

Oooh

Days pass, somehow

I hope my hope is getting better now

I'll make myself a vow

I'm gonna

Whatever I think you think this is

I'm never gonna let it win

No matter how big is this abyss

I'm never gonna jump right in

Day in, day out

Holding on will leave some bruises

But even if the world is falling down

I'm never letting go

It's not as simple as you say

Only words don't make it okay

It's not as easy as just putting on a bandage, no

Even stitches can't fix it all

You put salt in a wound

It's not that small

And now you'll try to heal me with a bandage

Oooh, oh

Oooh
