I saw a girl sitting by a grave
There were tears running down her face
This kind of thing, you see it every day
Laughing masks smiling through the pain
I met a boy who said he killed his dreams
Told me life is never what it seems
He missed a girl who left this world too soon
She took her life under the light of the moon
All these people seem alone
Empty hearts that have no home
One day, the child in you will die
And you will know it’s ok to cry
A little girl asked me what is pain
Give it time, you will see one day
She took my hand and looked me in the eyes
You’ll be alright, my dad said it’s ok to cry
All these people seem alone
Empty hearts that have no home
One day, the child in you will die
And you will know it’s ok to cry
We’re all the girl sitting by the grave
At some point, we all have lost our way
Don’t be the boy who killed his dreams away
Try not to remember yesterday
Put on your mask and smile through the pain
And know tomorrow brings another day
Not everyone we see is alone
Some hearts, they do have a home
Some people’s inner child never died
And they’ll tell you it’s ok to cry
As it is sung/played
