You're You Underneath
No matter how you do your hair Or put make-up on your face The clothes you wear don’t matter Because you’re you underneath
No matter how you do your hair Or put make-up on your face The clothes you wear don’t matter Because you’re you underneath
Cracked and broken You fell to pieces While the storm inside Never ceases
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
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
You shared your light with someone special But they made you feel oh so terrible The support and love that you always bring so many people decided they didn’t need Now you’re here, sad and afraid Wishing so badly that they’d all stayed I can’t understand why people pushed you away I know it hurt you, but anyway I guess that means there’s more of you for me
A little kindness can go a long way just a few nice words can make someone’s day
You said something kind and I wrote it down so I’ll always remember how much I’m loved
The gods walk about rushing, always in a hurry They don’t have time to talk They have too much to do
I know what it’s like to feel like no one cares and I never want anyone else to make the same mistake
