Younger You

Younger You Stop what you're doing Don't lift that blade Stop what you're doing Don't move, just stop. For one single moment Hear me out Listen to my voice It's you, it's me from further on I'm you And I want you to know It's okay It's going to be okay, It's going to get better Wipe the tears away And take my hand Trust me as I tell you That it's silly things you're worried about You've lost those friends But you make more You've done badly But you'll do better You get to that place That seems so far away And you become happy You become content with those who have left And you fall in love And even if it feels like a lie, You're loved You're happy You're smiling And those miserable days Lessen ever so slightly Because the people you've kept Make you feel okay to be you And you become so happy with yourself That you begin to love who you are
