You Could Have It So Much Better

The last message you sent said I looked truly down
That I had to come over and talk about it
But I wasn't down I just wasn't smiling at you

I tried to get up but you're pushing me down
Pushing me down

I wanna get up on my own
Get up on my own
Get up on my own
Get up on my own

It won't be alright
It won't be alright

Up on your own

So get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
