You Have To Understand

You HAVE to understand 
That there is nothing wrong with having nothing
You just have to learn to be patient, it’s coming

You HAVE to understand 
That it’s okay not to be okay
You just have to learn not to push people away

You HAVE to understand 
That not everyone’s intention is to cause pain
You just have to learn that pain is like rain
And everyone tends to get wet in their lane

You HAVE to understand 
This is not an ending
Instead it’s a plot just now descending 
Where it flatlines but it’s extending

You HAVE to understand 
It’s not just you going trough hell
Out of the million people alive, you just can’t tell
But they want to get well

You HAVE to understand 
That although you think you had enough
There’s people whom have it rough 
Yes, even those who were tough

You HAVE to live
To understand how it works
Not everyone are jerks

Remember they see you
They talk to you
But they can never touch your soul
Your in control
