"Somebody Like Me" lyrics

I watch my friends on big stages
And I can't help wondering if I'll get my chance
I wake up thinking about it
I fall asleep thinking about it again

You're not supposed to want for what you don't have
We all have got what's coming, and I don't want that taken back
And I know you should be happy for the things that have been
And it's not that I'm ungrateful, I'm just losing some steam
Is there anyone who ever feels like me?

I know someone who can't move off the floor most days
And I want to tell him to get along, but I don't know what to say
In my younger years, I used to think that everything worked out
And I want to tell him his time is coming
But what if it's all a fairytale I've been unwilling to see?
Is there anyone who ever feels like me?

Most days I'm okay, and I can get back on my feet
You can't dwell on the negative and have the bad times leave
But every now and then it gets the best of me
And I wonder, is this how it's meant to be for me, for me?

I hope that there is somebody else out there
Who's fought what I've been going through before
I'm not proud of the way that I've been feeling
I'm not proud that inside I still want more

It's not a thing we want to show our children
It's not the way I want to use my time
But I don't know what to do with all these feelings
And I hate that they are mine
Yes, I hate that they are mine

But if somebody is out there, and you need to let it out
And you don't want anybody else to see
This one's for you
This one's for him
This one's for her
This one's for them
'Cause there's gotta be somebody who feels like me
