Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what its like to be like me
To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life

Do you want to be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what its like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what its like
What its like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
What its like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

    General Comment:If someone asked me for my biography. I would give them this song. I fall asleep to this song, and I'm Just A Kid, among others every night. When I first found this song I asked myself "Why did someone write a song about me and not tell me?" Every night I wish I don't wake up. This song is me whenever I am not sleeping.

    General Comment:to me this song describes exactly how I felt when I was in grade 5 and 6 (10 and 11 yrs old). I know it sounds ridiculous that someone at that age could have such problems, but, despite having 1 or 2 friends I was completely rejected and ridiculed and it definitely had a bad effect. This song talks about someone having no idea what pain you're going though in you life no matter how big or small, and how you just want to scream and be angry in face of all the depression and inequity. anyway, it gets better haha

    General Comment:Welcome To My Life. Pretty self exclamatory if you ask me. It is all about going through life feeling alone and hurt. I relate to this song really well because I always feel like breaking down. I can't help it. My social anxiety gets the best of my sometimes. This song is basically saying that we all feel out of place, and no one understands the things we do. We all feel helpless and I think the irony of this song is that he is saying you don't know what it's like. A lot of people relate to this. I love this song and I love simple plan.

    General Comment:Ok, ya, I DO know what its like so shut up. You don't have a right to tell me that I don't what it's like to be stabbed in the back. For all you know, I really could have been abused as a child and stabbed in the back and kicked. So yeah.... just shut up. I like the parody of this song a lot better, frames emo kids for what they are.

    General Comment:Oh, and another thing. If this band really sucked, why would they have all of us fans and have a bunch of money and get record deals??? i mean some people don't like them. thats fine. but that doesnt mean they have to go around pissing people off by saying crap about bands they don't like. GROW UP AND GET OVER IT please. gosh.
