when our eyes first met i was taken to another world
you have a galaxy hidden beneath the soft ocean blue
waiting to be discovered by those who look beyond the surface

you are not who your pretend to be (most people aren’t)
instead you are a boy who’s been hurt to many times
i can see it in the bags under your eyes and the cracks in your lips

you are lost.  i can tell by the way you stumble around
looking for comfort in people who aren’t worth your time
and leave you broken, in pieces

the others talk about you a lot but
do not worry about your reputation, darling
it’s just hard for them to understand

the world has beat you down. you are so young yet so hurt.
it’s hard, i know it’s hard to keep going but please do
hold on for a little while longer, because it gets better i promise

hold on for me
