I Love You for Being You
I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try
I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try
Through all of life’s hardships through loss, pain, and heartbreak Do your best to be your best even when your heart and soul ache
It’s easy to run away It’s hard to stand up and speak Finding shelter feels safer Even when it makes you feel weak
It’s okay to be weak You’re allowed a break Sometimes life is too much to take
Not long ago You were always alone And no matter how you tried Nothing seemed to change that
Your future was bright and shining Your smiles big and beaming But then you messed up and now there’s a voice That keeps yelling and screaming
You see yourself as an empty, black hole as though “monster” is your only role
It’s hard to believe it So much hasn’t gone your way But I know that if you keep trying You are going to be okay
When an old toy breaks Even one I haven’t seen in years it feels like a part of me broke along with it
People made you feel like they were more important than you They talked over you, cut you off as though no one wanted to listen to you
