| Why do we try to protect our hearts by pretending we don’t have one?
|
| Try to escape from my fears, but we can’t run
|
| Seems like we were drowin' from the start
|
| And this void in my heart is still as empty as the last one
|
| I know some people who get numb just to cope with they feelings
|
| I know some people broke inside even though they make millions
|
| I know some people stuck with somebody they couldn’t be real with
|
| I know some people hurt themselves when they supposed to be healin'
|
| So you hide your scars still hopin' you’re worth it, but
|
| You were born to be real, not to be perfect, look
|
| I still question myself and I’m still searchin' for
|
| A perfect world where none of us feel worthless, look
|
| Music reminds me that pain is temporary
|
| Flowers remind me that rain is necessary
|
| I used to hold on to all of the trauma of people who weighed me down,
|
| now those memories are dead and buried (Mmm)
|
| There’s beauty in lettin' go
|
| They say if you never try, then you’ll never know
|
| I know what it’s like to feel your heart gettin' cold
|
| Like the house you were livin' in that was never home
|
| Struggled as a kid, you was losin' focus
|
| Scars on your body from the people closest
|
| Pops wasn’t around, teachers didn’t notice
|
| That kid walkin' through the hallways feelin' hopeless
|
| No one notices your tears, no one notices your face
|
| No one notices your pain, but they notice your mistakes
|
| I know how it feels to be the one that was replaced
|
| And I know how it feels to wear these scars that don’t erase
|
| And you feel like you alone in the crowd, uh
|
| Yellin' as loud as you can, seems like no one’s hearin' a sound
|
| And I think I’ve learned to get along with loneliness now
|
| But it’s just hard to let anybody close to me now
|
| I mean, it’s like nobody cares, this life just isn’t fair
|
| And someone said that we repeat what we don’t repair
|
| Sometimes we fall apart, sometimes we lose our heart
|
| When you can’t find the light, I’ll sit with you in the dark
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m tired
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m weak
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m incomplete
|
| For so long I just thought I wasn’t able to
|
| And sometimes, yeah, I know it feels the same for you
|
| Yeah, sometimes, yeah, I know it feels the same for you
|
| Yeah, uh, sometimes
|
| They say if you wanna fly you gotta lose everything that weighs you down
|
| Used to get attached to those who couldn’t stay around
|
| I used to give my heart away until it faded out
|
| Used to complain 'bout all the things I shoulda prayed about
|
| They called me 'sinner, ' they put me down, but I’m God’s child
|
| Tried to be positive, I was just never taught how
|
| I lost my confidence walkin' 'round with a dark cloud
|
| Thinkin' no one ever loved me, why would they start now?
|
| Forgive the people who didn’t know how to love you
|
| They were just teaching you how to love yourself, damn
|
| And I think life hit me the hardest the day I learned I loved somebody who
|
| loves someone else, well
|
| We let people in who don’t deserve to stay
|
| And forgive the ones that hurt us, made us feel betrayed
|
| And sometimes we forget that we blessed to live another day
|
| I’m just scared I’ll never find a way
|
| There was times darkness covered the light from my soul like an eclipse
|
| I studied the moon and how it glows and I’m convinced
|
| Sometimes we shine brighter in the darkness
|
| And I learned that it’s not over when you lose, it’s only over when you quit
|
| Sometimes I wanna talk to grandpa, wish that I could
|
| Maybe I’d learn that it’s okay to still be misunderstood
|
| Maybe he’d show me how to balance the bad with the good
|
| Sometimes it’s hard to show emotions when I know that I should, but
|
| I hope he’s proud of me although he’s not around
|
| I know his soul is in the sky, somewhere he’s smilin' down
|
| And sometimes it reminds me to breathe when I’m 'bout to drown
|
| Sometimes I stare up at the stars and it calms me down
|
| But I learned to thank God for what He gave me
|
| There was a point where I thought nobody could save me
|
| There was a point where the Devil kept tryna break me
|
| But I picked myself up every time and that’s what made me
|
| See, I learned to love myself when I’m tired
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m weak
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m incomplete
|
| For so long I just thought I wasn’t able to
|
| Sometimes, yeah, look
|
| I said, I learned to love myself when I’m tired
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m weak
|
| I learned to love myself when I’m incomplete
|
| For so long I just thought I wasn’t able to
|
| Sometimes, yeah, I know it feels the same for you
|
| Yours Truly |
