Sticks and Stones and Smiles and Promises

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will never hurt me

Razors and blades may slit my veins

But their words are what truly hurt me

Today it rains tomorrow it pours

Shut the curtains lock the doors

Take a minute

Let the blood fall

You knew you'd never have it all

Clean it up

Hide the cuts

Say that it'll be enough

Come tomorrow

Do it all again

You broke the promise you made to your friends

Noose too loose

No bottles of pills

Slit wrists are too messy

And the load is getting heavy

Stand tall

Fake a smile

Say you're alight

When you've been lying a mile

Live on

Today's gone

Another day comes

Thoughts just begun

Break the chain

That keeps you in hell

From heaven is where you fell

Climb those stairs

Regain your wings

Listen to all the birds sing

You'll make it back up

You'll reach the top

Don't let your heart stop

You'll be happy

When you reach the top

You'll be happy

You let the ticking continue on your clock

Just wait awhile

It'll be okay

For now just sing

Sing the songs that keep you strong

Sing the words that keep you alive past dawn

Hold on for a little longer

You'll be okay

You'll be stronger

You'll make it past the finish line

You'll make til 99

You'll live your life

Grown and free

You'll find out what it's like to be happy

So hold on a little longer

Until then

You have to be stronger

Than the urge to harm

And hold on to what you have left

Of your will to live

And if you don't have any

Hold on anyway

Hold on to those who try to help

Hold on to those who make you smile

And you'll be glad you're alive

Just wait a while
