Subjective Views On Life

There's a song buried deep inside my soul.

I still hear it everywhere I go.

But I've forgotten how to sing.

Can you teach me again, please?

There's a song, aching to be heard.

I want to paint the world again

like I did when I was younger.

Life can't turn over backwards

but no one said that I couldn't.

Take what I have and find my voice.

When I lost it, I think it was a choice.

I was so afraid someone would hear my song

and know my heart like no one's done for so long.

But I'll sing for you when I finally find

the voice that I've buried deep inside.

These shoes know where I should be going.

I'll slip into their lives every day.

They dictate now the way that I'm walking.

I haven't a clue what I'm supposed to say.

See, I stopped writing cause I was afraid

that my heart was still fragile, and that yeah, it was made

with a hole in it to big to fill.

I thought that was something I needed to kill.

So I lost all sight of where I should have been.

Lost the world and my mind along with my friend.

Then it snowed every time I just started to cry.

I'm just too broken to let you see my eyes.

And at this point, I'm sure you'll be here all the time.

Every note, every lyric, every word, every rhyme,

has brought me to a place where I'm fighting a life

that's never given me much, but at least I'm alive.

I thought that my feet had been weighing me down

but it was just an excuse not to turn things around.

And when you see me crying, pick me up in your arms.

Tell me the world's alright and you mean me no harm

and then hold me until I'm exhausted from crying.

If I say I'm alright, well you'll know that I'm lying.

See all this time I'd been trying to be human and real

without remember it's completely human to feel.

The way that I acted was going alright

but somewhere along the way I lost sight

of the fact that its okay to show the world you're down.

Well I'm definitely down here , bout ready to drown.

I'm just holding onto you and whats left of my world.

I know it sounds silly, but I'm still a silly little girl.

I've got a lot left to grow up and a lot left to learn

but I'm thinking that now its about time for my turn

to live and to love and be perfectly real

and show myself I'm still human

and it's okay

to feel.
