Depression
Does it make you feel better to shove it all down?
Is a smile uncomfortable so you wear a frown?
You flaunt it inside and accessorize it well,
With your feelings and secrets you can't bear to tell.
I know how it feels because I do it too
Like you think they'd all leave you if they really knew
You bury it deeper for years upon years
Just hoping it'll wash away with all of your tears
But that's not how it works and you know it too
But you still go out to forget every chance that you blew
'Cause to them you seem happy not a care in the world
But inside you're a broken, scared little girl
But there's hope for you still if you want it, that is
Please sit down, focus, and listen to this
You must trust in yourself for the life that you're after
You'll find peace and resilience, smiles and laughter
But you have to stop hating what you see in yourself
And blaming and pushing away everyone else
No matter what happens, one person's there
When things get tough and life seems unfair
So get up and go find a mirror to look in
That's your motivation, your reason to win
Hope lies in yourself at the end of the day
And I know it's a difficult card we must play
No bottle can fix you, there's no magic pill
You have to keep fighting with all of your will
Because life cannot stop no matter how hard you try
No day will be easy, and yes you'll still cry
It won't happen over night, and I'm sorry it's hard
But don't run away, you've come so far
So get yourself up and settle the score
You may feel like you're losing but there's so much more
You could live till you're 80, have kids of your own
What would you tell them if they came back home
And they sit there and tell you it's no longer worth it
They're done, discouraged they just want to quit
Would you sit there and tell them theyre probably right?
Or would you tell them there's so many reasons to fight?
If your life seems easy and you're just sliding by
Get out there and find something bigger to try
A story worth telling is a difficult one
And always succeeding is never much fun
You must fail to succeed, fill those failures with laughter
After all that you've been through is it 'easy' you're after?
No matter how small you may sometimes feel
Don't fight those feelings, just let your heart heal
