Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan

The 3e students have all studied a unit on Bullying, violence in school, this year. During the unit, we studied an excellent song by Simple plan called Welcome to My Life. It seems a happy song as the melody is catchy but the words are about someone who is treated badly and the person is sad and depressed.

Here are the words and a link to the Youtube video.

Happy singing.

WELCOME TO MY LIFE by Simple Plan
Do you ever feel like breaking down ?
Do you ever feel out of place ?
Like somehow you just don’t belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away ?
Do you lock yourself in your room ?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else ?
Are you sick of feeling so left out ?
Are you desperate to find something more ?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate ?
Are you sick of everyone around ?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you’re bleeding

No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I’m happy but I’m not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like (what it’s like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
