Look at those black shadows around your eyes
Dork circles simply trying to disguise a pain
That's written on your arm
Just beneath the surface of that makeup
Is a smile I'd like to take out to see the world
More than once in a while

Sixteen and going nowhere
Trying to survive
Everyone ignores the stereotype
So sold your cup up high
You don't have to hide
Outlive the sacrifice

Here's to the fight, cheers to the flight
To you we raise our glass tonight
To giving up without going down
Hard times we thank you
