You're a beautiful soul carrying a fake smile everyday,
even though it's hard to be okay.
The past takes a toll on your will to live,
even as your best friends tell you it gets better and better.

You don't believe a single word they say
because deep down you've been broken for a long while.
You might be good at hiding the fact
that all you ever wanna do is crawl in a hole
and hope
that the world is better off without you,
but let me tell you how wrong that is
because we probably wouldn't last even in our best days
without you,
and I know that'd be the same for you.

Broken-hearted-that's who I am.
You've seen me break down and lash out,
spilling my emotions on the floor.
We're all messes;
we're just at hiding that fact.

Remember last summer when I was in love?
I was lost... and crushing
for someone who's having a better chance with someone
who's loved her longer than I have,
and we hope it'll heal your broken soul.

We've all got our broken pieces that we have to put back together.
It may not be the easiest task-
it might even take us weeks, months, or years.
It'll all be worth it, trust me,
even if it doesn't seem like it,
we'll be there to help mend your broken soul.

I bet whenever you hear your grandpa walk in as you're sleeping,
he'll always remind you why you have to hold on,
even if it hurts, it'll all be okay.
If you can conquer yourself,
then you can conquer anything worse that you can imagine
no matter how broken you are
because it'll all be okay at the end.

Don't let yourself get lost in that fake smile.
Don't lie to yourself that you're just fine,
because we know how broken you are.
Even if things get worse,
it'll get better even as obstacles pop out
to scare you away from life,
but don't let that fear control you,
because it'll all be okay....

Your broken soul shall be healed
by not only those you love,
but by you-
the person whom you must not look down upon
and love just as much as you love others...
only then will your brokenness rest in peace.
