Everyone wants validation
Everyone wants someone to care
Everyone wants something to be wrong with them
But nothing is really there

Lies to create a substitute for purpose
There's enough people to form a convention
It's true some of those people have issues
But most use the words just to get attention

Part of me doesn't blame them
It's nice to be different
It's also nice to have people that care
In place of those who'd be indifferent

I just wish we'd stop glorifying the negative
And rewarding those who crave pity
I know it's unrealistic
But there is more positive ways to secure individual propinquity

I just think this cycle needs a change
We need a more a positive outlet
I know it's unrealistic
But let's change our mindsets
