I think I’ll be fine
What’s the worst thing they’ll say?
It can’t be that bad,
I’ve been feeling okay
I’m not dying today
I remember when
They gave me the news
It’s been a few years
More than just a few tears
But I still feel the blues
Do I spend more money or put more sugar inside me?
Cauliflower rice costs extra but not the spaghetti
Like there wasn’t already enough to worry about,
It’s not like we can sit here all day and pout
Try being a young person with diabetes
betes betes betes
I have to check my sugars
Every so often, and now I prick
My fingers bleed a little
And it really is a bit-tle
Onto a tiny gold strip?
And the number’s meant to tell me
If I’m doing well or not
Yet the doctors also tell me
Not to only trust the bot
Do I spend more money or put more sugar inside me?
Cauliflower rice costs extra but not the spaghetti
Like there wasn’t already enough to worry about,
It’s not like we can sit here all day and pout
Try being a young person with diabetes
betes betes betes
Now and then I tell myself
Can’t drink like I used to
Now I’m a different me
Not who I used to be
Gotta watch what I eat or do
Don’t answer those impulses
Say yes a lot less
Honestly it’s hard
But at least my health’s not a mess
Do I spend more money or put more sugar inside me?
Cauliflower rice costs extra but not the spaghetti
Like there wasn’t already enough to worry about,
It’s not like we can sit here all day and pout
Try being a young person with diabetes
betes betes betes
