Brett Franklin - average joe Lyrics

I walk alone in a world full of shadows
My heart beats fast in the dark unknown
And I've always been told they prefer sopranos
They're throwing me out like I'm your average Joe
Instead of taking the time to know me
They could have taken the time to know me
Instead of taking the time to diss me
They'll miss me, now I know
They could have taken the time to ask my name
Now all I feel is shame (The whole way home)
But if that was my last straw
And I just gave up on it all
What kind of mess would I be?
And I'd do just as they said
But I'm still stuck in my head
I'm still stuck in my head
I never know just how to plan my day
I'm picking up the slack just to have an easy A
I'm doing all their work just to find a friend to stay
And like me in a way
I never knew when I could be myself
I found a group of friends and they really seemed to help
I'm not doing all their work and I think they like me well
It's like they brought me back from hell
Thanks for taking the time to know me
But if that was my last straw
And I just gave up on it all
What kind of mess would I be? (Thanks for taking the time to know me)
And I'd do just as they said
But I'm still stuck in my head
I'm still stuck in my head (Thanks for taking the time to know me)
Thanks for taking the time to know me
Instead of taking the time to diss me
They'll miss me, now I know
They could have taken the time to ask my name
Now all I feel is shame the whole way home
But if that was my last straw
And I just gave up on it all
What kind of mess would I be?
And I'd do just as they said
But I'm still stuck in my head
I'm still stuck in my head
