everybody's smiling in my mind
rumors spreading about a happy life
but you don't understand
it's your time to stand
give me your pain
I’ll turn it into rain
you'll be the sun
the rain will bow
its happening slow
it has begun
Did you forget? You can't be depressed.
rule number one, when you're masking it all
so let me take your pain
you’ll know fame
there's a world around here
cause that should be me
standing there
that should be me feeling so bad
that should be me lonely and sad
that should be me
that should be me
that should be me breaking apart
that should be me remembering the past
that should be me, it's going so fast
go on your way
it's only one day
make it the best
then get some rest
the sun you are
you’ve made it this far
that
should
have
been
me

Based on the song "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber. The original is about heartbreak, but I just wanted to make it clear, even if you're hurting, you still deserve the world. You are the sun, just watch it rain, and trust that a rainbow is coming. I'll take your pain...
