how did i fall down?
why can’t i cry out?
when did my life become a cave and why can’t i get out?
there are so many things
nobody ever told me
and when i found out i was already trapped
only the truth can change that.
this is the truth that happens when we talk about it
it’s the truth that happens when we’re not afraid
it’s that truth that never ever reached the surface
but look at us now

i wish somebody told me
that life can’t be easy
and when it is
it destroys the happiness that comes freely
i wish that somebody told me
that depression is empty

because when i wasn’t sad
i thought i was crazy
because the truth isn’t common
that's why i never knew the struggles that were coming

Learn to love the flaws,

And just take a look and pause,

For your body is beauty,

Even if only you see.



You may not see it now,

But you must take a bow,

For your body is music,

And you play it acoustic.



Run you hands across your thighs,

And listen to the sighs,

For your body is a work of art,

And you know it by heart.



Take the breaths you need,

For self-hate is just the seed.

Let go of the doubt you feel,

So  you can finally heal.

i’m alright
everythings alright
i fooled myself into believing that lie
i have a secret
so hold it tight
save it for the next shattered heart who needs it
cuz this is all i get
for giving my soul to whoever needs a reason to hold on
but it doesn’t really matter
this is what i get

for all i’ve done
tryna be someone
chasing the moon while tryna convince you i’m the sun
smiling all day
crying all night
don’t want you to know this "happy" girl is not alright
but i want you to know just what i do to stay **alive

Dance me through love warm and tender
With glitter ball lights in your eyes
Dance me through all I’ll remember
in the glow of a million soft sighs
Dance  me through children and laughter
in  a place where true love never dies.
Dance me before and then after
as I drown in the pools of your eyes.
Dance with me every day of our lifetime.
Dance away all heartaches and pain.
When I am old and my eyes lose  their bright shine.
Dance me until they shine once again.

remember the laughs when life was real
we built each other up to feel
constantly free
neither do i

remember the times our friendship was strong
and nobody could tell us we were wrong
remember the pure heart?
neither do i

I guess reality can really be fake
we dragged on a beautiful mistake
and when reality came knocking we pushed it away

because we were best friends
but thats not an excuse

so when i lost you
what did i really lose?

Because i don't feel alone without you
and so
i built a home without you
and i never felt the need to cry
i found my own way without you
and i hope i don't distract you
i hope you make it really far in this life

and nothing in our friendship was really true
thats why i don't feel alone without you
goodbye
