lyrics

I wish I'd made a few more friends back in college
it was too hard with all my doubt & anxiety
instead, I filled my little head with lots of knowledge
& kept it down if anybody talked to me

I didn't wanna be alone
I didn't wanna spend my nights at home
I didn't wanna be that girl
who stays inside & never sees the world

CHORUS:
how do I shake off the feeling that nobody likes me?
how do I go to the party when no one invites me?
how do I banish all the shyness from my mind?
how do I learn that other people can be kind?
but hey, I'm doin' fine

my classmates tried to make new friends, oh so sweetly
& I did too, but I was nervous, & it showed
I never let nobody in, not completely
'cause then they'd see that I'm a fraud & then they go

I didn't wanna scare them away
I didn't wanna hear what they might say
I didn't wanna be so meek
that no one in my class had heard me speak

(repeat chorus)

don't worry – there's a happy ending
I think I've finally found the key
because, at last, I stopped pretending
& I went to therapy

I investigated all the shit that made me wanna hide
& divested from the stressors that were festering inside
now I'm happier & healthier & I've got friends
I hope that's how your story ends

(repeat chorus)
