You know you might could just do it
Do your own thing
But nobody’s gonna’ pay you for it
It’s only a way to pay yourself
Go ahead and be you
It’s not easy being different
But it’s easier than being something else
Don’t pick the wrong version of the story
When you decide to breathe again
I hope you’re the one who’s there
When you decide to speak again
I hope you’re the one who cares
It’s time to quit pretending
There’s nothing but pain there
It will happen soon enough for you
But now you belong to your own heart
When you decide to see again
I hope it's you standing in the mirror
When you decide to love again
I hope it's my heart that becomes nearer
