There you have me in one of those days
In which nobody picks up the phone
And the walls are on you

I know there is always a way out
But knowing that everything will be better
It does not mean that I stop feeling like a mess

The years go by, the projects, the dreams
Do you remember how you wanted to be when you were little?
To grow is to realize
That life is not how you want it to be
Everything is much more complex

Responsibilities, struggles, duties
Smile when you don't feel like it
Lying so as not to hurt the people you love
Pretend when you perfectly know that they lie to you

Is it worth doing what you're supposed to
More times than you really want?
Why did I end up doing what everyone does?
If I was always supposed to feel different?

I've been a coward disguised as brave
Always aware of "what will people say"
I hide my fears to appear strong
But no more, it's time to be consistent because
Because I think I've seen it, buddy, and ...

Perhaps the key to being truly free is:
When you can laugh and mourn when needed
Be honest with yourself
Focus on what's important and forget about the noise

Perhaps the key to being truly free is:
When you can laugh and mourn when needed
Do not be obsessed with the objectives
Try to relax and live something calmer

With this topic I make myself a promise:
And it's doing whatever it takes to find solutions, not problems
I know I'm not perfect
Well, I won't punish myself anymore for not being one

I will learn to say no
To accept myself as I am, to measure the value
Because sometimes I was brave out of fear
I know it sounds strange, but you know what?
The worst of all is that it's true

Today I seek to sleep comfortably
Doesn't sound very ambitious
But trust me it's a lot

I've been studying life for years
That there is no evil that for good does not come?
That's a lie

I will focus on what is important:
In my family, my friends, my passion for art
I will accept that I have the right to be down from time to time
Because being down is human

I am not giving up on any problem
I trust myself and I can beat anything
I will fall again a million times
But I will always stand tall again
Because I realized that, oh
Oh yeah, friend, I realized that

Perhaps the key to being truly free is:
When you can laugh and mourn when needed
Be honest with yourself
Focus on what's important and forget about the noise

Perhaps the key to being truly free is:
When you can laugh and mourn when needed
Do not be obsessed with the objectives
Try to relax and live something calmer
