I Shouldn't Feel This Way (But I Do) Lyrics

I know I should think everything's okay

As far as I can tell, everything's going my way

They always see me smile

But no one takes a while

To wonder 'bout what's going on inside

I'm not alone

But I'm alone

I'm in paradise

But just don't feel at home

I make all the right turns

But I still crash and burn

I tell myself I shouldn't feel this way

But I do

But I do

I know I've got it better than it seems

Family, grades, stability, an American dream

I've got a privileged life

Yet my mind bears knives

Slicing through the good things gone awry

I'm not alone

But I'm alone

I'm in paradise

But just don't feel at home

I make all the right turns

But I still crash and burn

I tell myself I shouldn't feel this way

But I do

But I do

I've got a talent for the worst

And always end up getting hurt

Why can't I know that it's okay?

I'm always finding negatives

And telling lies I can't forgive

Will I ever see the truth?

I'm not alone

But I'm alone

I'm in paradise

But just don't feel at home

I make all the right turns

Yet I just crash and burn

I tell myself I shouldn't feel this way

But I do

But I do
