You used to not have a care in the world,
I loved how you looked so free.
But your spirit gradually began to fall
Because of what you saw on tv.
They knocked you down with words,
Each one stung fresh and new.
And every time they put you down,
Your face turned a shade of blue.
Yet you still put on this sickly act,
Starring you in this lie you've created.
Pretending you're absolutely fine,
When you'd prefer to be sedated.
And even though they don't care
About your crushed and broken dreams.
I want to let you know that I do,
Because we're all crazier than we seem.
Let down your guard and show yourself,
You'll thank me, one day.
No matter what they say to you,
It's okay to not be okay.
