Welcome to Harry’s Life

to the tune of “Welcome to My Life” by Simple Plan

I used to feel like breaking down
I used to feel out of place
Like somehow I did not belong
And no one understood me
I used to wanna run away
I used to lock myself under the stairs
With Uncle Vernon yelling so loud
No one could hear me screaming

I did know what it was like when nothing felt alright
Nobody knew what it was like to be like me!

I was hurt, I was lost,
I was left out in the dark
I was kicked when I was down
I felt like I was being pushed around
I was on the edge of breaking down
With no one there to save me
No one knew what I felt like
Welcome to my life

I wanted to be somebody else
I was sick of feeling so left out
I was desperate to find something more
By the day I turned eleven
I was stuck inside a world I hated
I was sick of everyone around
With big fake smiles and stupid lies
When deep inside I was bleeding

I did know what it was like when nothing felt alright
Nobody knew what it was like to be like me

I was hurt, I was lost,
I was left out in the dark
I was kicked when I was down
I felt like I was being pushed around
I was on the edge of breaking down
With no one there to save me
No one knew what I felt like
Welcome to my life

Now not many people lie to my face
Barely anyone stabs me in the back
People think I’m happy,
Which I generally am
Dudley used to get whatever he wanted
And I had to work for nothing at all
No one knew what I felt like, what I felt like

I’m no longer hurt
I’m no longer lost
I’m no longer left out in the dark
I’m no longer kicked when I am down
I no longer feel like I’ve been pushed around
I’m no longer on the edge of breaking down
And I have my friends to save me
I’m the only one who knows what it felt like

To be hurt, to be lost,
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when your down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one there to save you
No one but me knew what it was like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
