Lyric

Who’s the one to say I’m trying way too hard?

Walking through the morning, bedhead on my guard

Staring at the ceiling in the nurse's quiet bay

Just a ghost in the hallway, fading through the day

I wanna be noticed, but the weight is way too much

Expectations burning with every single touch

Tripping on my heart, trying not to let it show

Hiding all the bruises that I’ve come to know

"No Skipping Allowed"—a law I wrote myself

Keeping all my joy upon the highest shelf

Chanting that old spell, "Got to keep it all together"

Losing who I am, just lost in the weather

I’m about to lose the "me" I used to be

Jealous of that girl, laughing out so loud

Scribbling my sighs, hidden from the crowd

Everyone keeps saying, "Oh, you’ll be okay"

But that just makes it harder to get through the day

It’s not just a complaint, it’s a silent little plea

But no one’s really listening to the soul inside of me

"I’m doing just fine"—another lie to keep the peace

"No Skipping Allowed"—I was the judge and the priest

I just wanted a tomorrow that was trivial at least

I don’t need to be perfect, I don’t need the crown

It’s okay to let a couple of the pieces crumble down

Clouds outside the window, torn and drifting far

Looking like a mirror of exactly who we are

Not enough to cry, but I want to let it out

Just wanted someone to hold me, without a doubt

"No Skipping Allowed"—can I break the law tonight?

Finally feeling like I might be alright

It’s okay to be clumsy, take the long way home

Starting to like the girl that I’ve finally known

Just a little bit

I wanna love myself

Just a little bit
