I'll Get By

i swear to god i want to be like you
with a perfect smile, not one crooked tooth
the fancy cars and the cash to spend
a promising life a head
not speeding towards a dead end

where did i go wrong

ive got a friend who likes the girl i love
guess i deserve it i was never there
im addicted to some certain drugs
because cigarettes just arent enough
and i cant believe
that this could have happened to me
but i'll get by even if it kills me

i swear to god i want to be like you
with the perfect job, i should have finished school
the perfect sky not a cloud in sight
instead im stuck here chasing stars in the night

i swear to god i could have been like you
with a thousand friends and never ditching school
i could have made straight A's til i hit an early grave
and to everyone else that seemed okay..

i dont think that i went wrong

but ive got a friend who likes the girl i love
guess i deserve it because im never there
im addicted to some certain drugs
because cigarettes just arent enough
and i cant believe
that this could have happened to me
but i'll get by even if it kills me
