put down the phone and go outside
take a deep breath and think of people
you have in your life
the mind is a dangerous place to hide
much too dark they couldn't find you
if they tried
so your boundaries turned into barriers?
so you mistook suppression for self control?
i promise you, you're feelings are real
but that doesn't make them all factual
i know it's easier said, but remember it's all in your head
chorus:
when everything around you falls apart
can't let go of whoever broke your heart
doesn't matter where the pain starts
just take care of yourself
take care of yourself, go easy on yourself
take care of yourself, go easy
quit being proud, go ahead and cry
makes it harder to let go of
when you try to deny that you're upset
you have every right
healing is hard it doesn't happen overnight
when your boundaries turn into barriers
when you mistake suppression for self control
when everything you thought you wanted
is somehow not enough anymore
i know it's easy to say, but i promise we'll be ok
chorus
when the hardest thing you do that day
is get out of your bed
when you finally think of something else
than the careless thing they said
when you haven't eaten in a week
and you're able to finish a meal
when you realize you're no longer afraid of how
you really feel
i know that these are just battles
we're nowhere close to winning this war
but if you can't see how far you've come
then what the hell was it all for?
