I know what it's like to swing and miss three times
There's nothing quite like striking out
When everybody's watching
I know the feeling of not being invited to the party
They're having fun without me
But baseball's not forever
And parties aren't that great
I'm here to tell you
You'll be ok
All of us
Have days when we feel small
Like we're not good enough
Seems like everything's your fault
But don't give up because
That's not who you really are
Even when you lose
Don't lose heart
I know what it's like to wear pajamas to the grocery store
And have a toddler freaking out when everybody's watching
Now every morning when I see my reflection
I keep thinking "who's that old lady?"
We're all a little crazy
And everyone gets old
I'm here to tell you
You're not alone
All of us
Have days when we feel small
Like we're not good enough
Seems like everything's your fault
But don't give up because
That's not who you really are
Even when you lose
Don't lose heart
You can lose your phone
Lose your keys
Lose your home
Your dignity
There's a love
I believe
That can gather every missing piece of...
All of us
Have days when we feel small
Like we're not good enough
Seems like everything's our fault
Please don't give up because
That's not who we really are
Even when we lose we...
Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
Don't lose heart
