I wish someone told me How much it would hurt How revenge just makes you feel worse Don’t act on behalf of their curse No matter how tempted you are Turning a page will take you so far Despite the fact that you’re falling apart I wish someone told me To be your best friend All you have at the end of the day is yourself The best version of you is your most authentic self Simplicity is not boring Extravagance doesn’t have to be flashy Reminded to sit back and watch While their wheels fall off This carousel ride will soon subside Their highs don’t have to make you feel inferior And your highs don’t make you superior Based on differently driven ambitions Ride on your own wavelength No two are in sync Sometimes your relationship will sink Who cares what people think You owe it to yourself to be honest Don’t be someone else Focus on yourself And the rest will fall into place.
