i think im starting to lose my sense of humor everything's so tense and gloom i almost feel like i gotta check the temperature of the room just as soon as i walk in its like all eyes on me i try to avoid any eye contact cuz if i do that then it opens the door for conversation like i want that im not looking for extra attention i just want to be just like you blend in with the rest of the room maybe just point me to the closest restroom i don't need no fucking man servant tryin ta follow me around and wipe my ass laugh at every single joke i crack and half of them aint even funny like hahhhhh "Marshall your so funny man you should be a comedian god damn" unfortunately i am i just hide behind the tears of a clown so why don't you all sit down listen to the tale that im about to tell hell we don't gotta trade our shoes and you don't gotta walk no thousand miles
Chorus: in my shoes, just to see what its like, to be me ill be you, lets trade shoes just to see what id be like to feel your pain, you feel mine go inside each others minds just to see what we'd find look at shit through each others eyes but don't let em say you aint beautiful they can all get fucked just stay true to you don't let em say you aint beautiful they can all get fucked just stay true to youuuuu
