When they say, “Good job,”
I think, “What did I do wrong?”
When they say, “Come join us.”
I think, “I don’t belong.”
When they say, “I love you.”
I think, “Yeah? For how long?”
But I don’t have to think that today
No, I don’t have to think that way
When they say, “You’re special.”
I think “So’s everyone.”
When they say, “You’re pretty.”
I think, “Please don’t make fun.”
When they say, “You’re worth it.”
I think, “Not in the long run.”
But I don’t have to think that today
No, I don’t have to think that way
When I feel proud
I still think I might be wrong
When I feel accepted
I still doubt if I belong
When I feel loved
I still think it won’t last long
But I don’t have to think that today x3
No, I don’t have to think that way
I don’t have to think that way

The world’s gonna end and take us all with it
That’s what it feels like today
Tomorrow’s a lie, we’re fools to believe it
I can’t think any other way
But beliefs form behaviors that help you to function
And give you the strength to fight one more day
I’ll take disappointment over premature defeat
And believe in myself anyway
Cause there’s nothing wrong with believing tomorrow
Will be so much better than what I’m scared of
And there’s nothing wrong with believing tomorrow
Will happen for me and the ones that I love
I know that it’s scary, and I know it’s hard to do
But what’s the worst that believing can do?
The world is uncertain, and I cannot change it
That’s what it feels like today
Dreams for the future seem hopeless and pointless
I can’t think any other way
But change cannot happen without plans for tomorrow
And it’s better to fail than to not try at all
I’ll aim for the sun and become a shooting star
Despair gives me nowhere to go
Cause there’s nothing wrong with dreaming tomorrow
Will be so much better than what I’m scared of
And there’s nothing wrong with dreaming tomorrow
Will happen for me and the ones that I love
I know that it’s scary, and I know it’s hard to do
But what’s the worst that dreaming can do?
The world is all pain, I have no place in it
That’s what it feels like today
It won’t get better and hope does nothing
I can’t think any other way
But hope’s always stronger than we give it credit
It carries me through when I feel alone
The tiniest voice that knows things will get better
Leads my way through the unknown
Cause there’s nothing wrong with hope that tomorrow
Will be so much better than what I’m scared of
And there’s nothing wrong with hope that tomorrow
Will happen for me and the ones that I love
I know that it’s scary, and I know it’s hard to do
But what’s the worst that hope can do?

You Don't Deserve That

You did not ask for that
You did not have it coming
Even if you weren’t perfect they don’t need to be mean
Cause you don’t deserve that

It's Not Your Fault

Why can’t I help them, they need me to help them
They’re pushing me away and everyone is so scared
I should stay here and I should do more
I don’t know what to do, I can’t just do nothing
Someone is hurting, it’s my responsibility
To do all I can or I’m a bad person
Why is nothing working x4
It’s too much pressure for just one person
You can’t be responsible, it’s still their decision
They need more help than you can give them
That’s not weakness
It’s not your fault
They’re not getting better, I keep trying new things
If someone’s in danger, I have to drop everything
If I tell anyone, they can’t trust me
My feelings don’t matter, nothing’s more important
If they get hurt, and I could have stopped it
It’s just as bad as hurting them myself
I need to save them x4
You can’t save someone when you are injured
Neglecting yourself won’t save anyone
You did your best, you could not do more
That is ok, it’s not your fault

Your story could have ended,
But you didn’t want it that way
You’re here, you’re here, you’re here, you’re here, you’re here and not going away;
I can’t promise to make everything better
I don’t know what’s in your way
But you’ll get through it, minute by minute
Second by second by day;
I can’t say what will make you happy
When everything’s painful and grey
But some smile, some flower, some sunshine, some kiss,
Some moment will feel worth it someday;
I won’t tell you it’s all for a reason
No one needs to feel this way
The best parts of you are never your wounds
But healing has power anyway;
Your story could have ended
But you didn’t want it that way
You’re here, you’re here, you’re here, you’re here, you’re here and not going away;

You are worthy of happiness
You earned it the day you were born
You don’t need to be smart
You don’t need to be pretty
You don’t need to be perfect
For you to love you
You are you, you are you, you are you, you are you, and you are enough
You are worthy of kindness
You earned it the day you were born
You don’t need to buy gifts
You don’t need to do favors
You don’t to pay dues
For people to like you
You are you, you are you, you are you, you are you, and you are enough
You are worthy of love and care
You earned it the day you were born
You don’t need to be crying
You don’t need to be hurting
You don’t need open wounds
To prove you need care too
You are you, you are you, you are you, you are you, and you are enough
You are worthy of happiness
You are worthy of kindness
You are worthy of love and care
You earned it the day you were born
You earned it the day you were born
You earned it the day you were born

I don’t have hope for the whole wide world
But I can have hope for you
We don’t have power and we don’t have time
But I can make time for you
I can’t say much that’s comforting
But we’re more than our suffering
We don’t know how long we have left
We can’t know how long we have left
We’ll never know how long we have left
Even if things were ok
Take nothing for granted anyway
It’s always true to say
We won’t know our last day
There’s not enough care in the whole wide world
But I can take care of you
There might not be much space for us
But I can make space for you
I can’t undo what’s in the past
But pain is never built to last
We don’t know how long we have left
We can’t know how long we have left
We’ll never know how long we have left
Even if things were ok
Take nothing for granted anyway
It’s always true to say
We won’t know our last day

We'll Be Ok

I miss a lot of people and I miss them everyday
I’m sad that they’re gone
I want to hang out and talk and hug and laugh and smile and play
and stare at each other in a silent conversation
But they’re not here they’re gone
And I’ll be ok
In order to miss people you have to know how to care
You learn how to connect
To listen and to share, you want to go right back, see them again
And tell them that you want them in your life
But they’re not here they’re gone
And you’ll be ok
We don’t need to miss people who are still around today
We’re happy they’re here
And we need to tell them that we want to talk and hug and laugh
And stare at each other in a silent conversation
We want to connect
To listen and to share and to go to them, look in their eyes
And tell them that we want them in our lives
Cause we’re not gone we’re here
We’re here, we’re here
And we’ll be ok.
