• Lately my heads been down, out of the sun.
    Sorry but I just can't get this problem solved and done.
    I'm just so ******** depressed, I can't seem to get up.
    I can't seem to hold my head high like daddy said.
    If only I could walk straight, through these tears,
    But such intense pain I feel doesn't go away for years.
    I took the insults, the hits, the beating,
    I fell down and I got right back up,
    What more could you ask me for?
    I need a break, need a light, need something to make this right.
    See, I just wanted to be a normal person like you,
    Have friends, goals, and a life for me to live.
    I didn't want anyone to follow me around or try to be like me,
    I just wanted to fit in, always wanted to be that "cool kid"
    Yeah, I learned my lesson then and I'm not doing that again.
    I won't go out of my way to impress others, you have your opinion and I have mine.
    And that's fine, it's just fine.
    But I guess you just won't understand,
    Until you switch with me and walk this land.

    So let's switch shoes, you'll be me and I'll be you.
    See what it's like, to continuously lose an endless fight.
    Trade life's, you can see what my world looks like without that light.
    I'll take your life if you take mine, let's see the pain in each others minds.

    I used to be so happy, so loved, so popular
    But it seems now I lost my sense of humor, no one wants to hang out with "her"
    Walk in a room, the voices stop,
    The heads turn and my life is caught,
    In staring eyes, who is who? I don't know but I try not to
    Make a scene, hide my tears. Hide my fears and walk tall,
    Like daddy always said, down that hall
    Straighten up and show no damn expression at all.
    Well I did, and now it seems nobody wants to hang around me
    Because all they know, all they see
    Is some quiet little girl with a tear rolling down her cheek and,
    I guess you wouldn't know, I guess it seems everything I say,
    Is so much more different in your mind. But that's fine,
    Just switch with me and you'll see that knowledge shine.

    So let's switch shoes, you'll be me and I'll be you.
    See what it's like, to continuously lose an endless fight.
    Trade life's, you can see what my world looks like without that light.
    I'll take your life if you take mine, let's see the pain in each others minds.

    I never asked for this life, nobody did.
    I just get it and deal with it in my head.
    Now you see, some people with look and see me,
    As a girl who complains, whines, never stops crying about her,
    Shitty life, well,
    Maybe you could just stick around a little longer,
    See really what happens and that she's a lot stronger,
    That half the s**t she's said to you is only about 10 times smaller.
    But I guess you wouldn't care to stand and wait, now would you?
    But I never asked anything that I have stuck on my plate.
    I've always been the one to try and get attention,
    Act stupid, hide it all and just be a clown,
    Joke around, just like everyone loves,
    But I don't know how to you see, I've lost my touch.
    When I was young, no one watched, no one saw a poor little girl,
    Lost in the world, green eyes, fake smile, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
    I've grown up now, my past washed up on the shore, but I'm still seeing slamming doors.
    Now I know this sounds like a little more whining, complaining,
    Crying about my new life dieing. Well I guess it does, but you know,
    We should switch, just you and me, and maybe then you could see.

    So let's switch shoes, you'll be me and I'll be you.
    See what it's like, to continuously lose an endless fight.
    Trade life's, you can see what a world looks like without that light.
    I'll take your life if you take mine, let's see the pain in each others minds.

    So let's switch shoes, you'll be me and I'll be you.
    Don't worry, I won't make you take back the nasty words,
    The things you said when my heart went dead and my only friend was my bed.
    But you'll see, oh you'll see. And when you do don't come crying for help to me.
