When the harshest words you hear, come from inside of your head
When the loneliest you’ve been, comes from inside of your bed
Maybe it is time, to give yourself some love

When the reflection that you see is covered by a mask
When the person that you are, loves to tell you what you lack
Maybe is is time, to give yourself a try

When you cannot fix yourself and all you feel is hurt
When the time is passing by and your questioning your worth
Maybe it is time, to give yourself some help

When the toughest critic yet is the man in your reflection
When your tired and alone, and you lost all your direction
Maybe it is time, to give yourself a break

When you learn to love your flaws and feel free inside your head
When you wake up filled with hope, and smile cuz you can  
You know it is time, to start living your life

When you say that your enough, that the lonely times will pass
When you wake up without hurt and don’t put on a mask
You know it is time, to start living your life

When you no longer feel pain from the emptiness of words
When every single day feels like a chance to learn
You know it is time, to start living your life

When the life that you have dreamed are within your own grasp
When you start to feel happiness without reaching for the flask
You know it is time, to start living your life
