THeSE SONGS ARE NOT MINE BUT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR THEM. THEY ARE BY CAVETOWN AND THE FIRST ONE IS CALLED CANDLE

Nothing's happened, you can calm down now.
You're not a monster and no one's going to shut you out.
Mum and Dad love you, you can come home now.
Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about.
Have the strength to push away all the pain from yesterday,
Cause there's nothing worth crying about
Your heart is a candle and I won't let you blow it out

So what, you messed up, at least it won't happen again
Every time I screw up I feel I've let down all my friends
Stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull
There's so much life out here in space it's crazy that we're here at all

THIS ONE IS CALLED ITS OKAY

Hey, It's okay if you're not okay right now
You have plenty of time to figure it out
And before you know know it, you won't even remember the last time
Someday you'll be glad you didn't listen to your demons that one night
And I already can't wait to see how you'll grow
There'll be skies as blue as your eyes and grass as soft as your nose
And I'll tell you all of the things I love about you
I'll tell you about all the times that I've smiled because of you
And you'll realise,
It's okay if you're not okay right now.
