Haven't Been Doing So Well

It's a day with a 'Y' in it, so obviously I'm over it
 I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
 And I've tried not to worry
 And I've tried being sorry
 For being born in the wrong place and wrong time
 'Cause I've been messed up, stressed out, talking to myself again
 Locked up, left out, terrified of everything
 Wound up, found out, waiting around for something to give
 Don't you ever wake up and suspect
 That you were simply never cut out to be
 The kind of person they expect
 The person you intended to be?
 And I keep it all in with my idiot grin
 And I'm doing my best, but there's very little left
 So cut me some slack if I crawl back into my shell
 I haven't been doing so well
 I haven't been doing so well
 I got a brand new name for an old, old friend
 The doctor said it's anxiety
 And it makes a lot of sense
 'Cause I've been so tense
 Some days I find it difficult to see
 'Cause I've been hemmed in, penned down, struggling to find myself
 Caved in, cut down, scared of everybody else
 Dragged in, dragged down, searching for a reason to live
 Don't you ever wake up and suspect
 That you were simply never cut out to be
 The kind of person they expect
 The person you intended to be?
 And I keep it all in with my idiot grin
 And I'm doing my best, but there's very little left
 So cut me some slack if I crawl back into my shell
 I haven't been doing so well
 Can you tell?
 And if self-loathing was a sport I'd be Muhammad Ali
 'Cause I can sting like a butterfly and sink like a bee
 But they don't hand out medals to monsters like me
 Oh, well
 I haven't been doing so well
 Maybe I can do with some help
 I haven't been doing so well
 Maybe I can do with some help
 'Cause every day I wake up and suspect
 That I was simply never cut out to be
 The kind of person they expect
 The person I intended to be
 'Cause I'm not Joe Strummer, not Muhammad Ali
 Not a teacher, not a builder
 Just uncomfortable me
 And maybe, just maybe, I'll admit that I could use a little help
 I haven't been doing so well
