When everything is going wrong And things are just a little strange It's been so long now You've forgotten how to smile And overhead, the skies are clear But it still seems to rain on you And your only friends All have better things to do When you're down and lost And you need a helping hand When you're down and lost Along the way Oh, just tell yourself, I'll, I'll be ok Now things are only getting worse And you need someone to take the blame (Need someone to take the blame) When your lover's gone There's no one to share the pain You're sleeping with the TV on And you're lying in an empty bed (Lying in an empty bed) All the alcohol in the world Would never help me to begin When you're down and lost And you need a helping hand When you're down and lost Along the way Just try a little harder And try your best to make it Through the day Oh, just tell yourself I'll, I'll be ok You're not alone (You're not alone) You're not alone (You're not alone) You're not alone Just tell yourself I'll, I'll be ok Oh, just tell yourself I'll, I'll be ok Won't you tell yourself I'll? When you're down and lost And you need a helping hand When you're down and lost Along the way Try a little harder And try your best to make it Through the day Oh, just tell yourself, I'll, I'll be ok I'll, I'll be ok, I'll, I'll be ok
