Are you ready? Here we go
How do you feel? 'Cause I feel fine
Just remember what I said
We'll go better than last time

You can call me when you sober up
Let me know you're still alive
We could try again tomorrow
We could start over tonight

I shouldn't feel like I have to protect you
I shouldn't feel like I have to entertain
I shouldn't feel the way I feel
I don't think that anybody else could feel this way
And I'll be fine
Yeah, I'll be alright, alright, alright

Hey, sweetheart, where'd you get those eyes?
Do you think that I could have a pair?
Love the way that they glaze over
No point in pretending that we care

There are cracks between the concrete
That we will all fill up with time
If you want to move ahead
You have gotta leave me behind
I shouldn't feel like I have to protect you
I shouldn't feel like I have to entertain
I shouldn't feel the way I feel
I don't think that anybody else could feel this way
And I'll be fine
Yeah, I'll be alright, alright, alright

I watch from the corner of a room
As some kid tries to start a fight
His shirt is a little bit too small
Pants are a little bit too tight

I watch you try to get involved
Watch you try to make it right
Watch me try to walk away
Watch me leave with you tonight

I shouldn't feel like I have to protect you
I shouldn't feel like I have to entertain
I shouldn't feel the way I feel
I don't think that anybody else could feel this way
And I'll be fine
Yeah, I'll be alright, alright, alright
I'll be fine
