People Will Listen
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
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
When you have dreams keep reaching for them Let no one else decide what path you take
You always look beautiful The way you dress, the way you are without even trying you always raise the bar
Time moves forward always ticking away and with it, the world changes little by little every day
It’s not the words we say it’s that we’re now talking Before this, I was crawling But I’ve stood up and started walking
A little kindness can go a long way just a few nice words can make someone’s day
Today, life is chaos mad, wild, out of control a raging river on which I’m trapped
You don’t need anyone else to tell you that you’re enough You can do that by yourself I know that you are that tough
I’m trapped here inside no matter how many times I’ve tried to escape this empty pit The dark, the cold, this is it The past has swallowed me whole My regrets and misery have taken a toll So I’m left to wander, always lost Wondering if my choices were worth the cost Then I look out and see something new and my hope shines through Cos even though this journey is my own I don’t have to walk it alone
