Ups and downs
The downs outweighing the good
It's been like this for a while
I was supposed to be adjusted

But the ups seem brighter now
Hope is greater
What's also greater
Is the fall

So vulnerable
No home to hide in
Just hold on
Until the next up

Their support might be
The only thing keeping me going
I don't tell them that enough

It's cold
And I try to hide
Nowhere to hide
You're on your own, kid

So I try to get by
Grow up faster
They think it was because of me
But I think it's because of them

I can't wait to find a home
A safe place
Like when I'm with these three
Not like here

My mind is all jumbled up
My body grows tired
The up will arrive soon
I'll just have to make do
