IT'S ALRIGHT

This grown-up coat is heavier than it seems I hide the hurt behind a smile no one can read Afraid a little laughter might give me away I wear another mask and face another day There's a pressure in the air I can't explain A silent little system running through my veins Every step, each feeling, every word I choose Gets measured by the rules I never got to choose Some days I wanna cry like a child Some nights I wanna disappear awhile But we keep on moving, afraid to fall Who said we had to be so strong at all? It's alright! We can make it through It's alright! I'm standing here with you Step by step, even when we fall We don't have to be so strong at all It's alright! Let the walls come down It's alright! We can turn this around You can cry, you can take your time We're still moving, and we'll be alright I thought their windows only let the sunshine in Like nobody was fighting battles deep within I watched their perfect pictures, blamed myself instead While everybody hid the words they never said Maybe you've been looking through my window too Seeing something bright you wish you had in you Different roads, but underneath the skin We're all just trying to find the strength within Step beyond the borders of the world you know Look around and see the weight that others hold We don't need to carry everything alone There's a million hearts that feel just like our own It's alright! We can make it through It's alright! I'm standing here with you Step by step, even when we fall We don't have to be so strong at all It's alright! Let the walls come down It's alright! We can turn this around You can cry, you can move more slowly You don't have to prove you're somebody In the dark, one little light Can help us find each other No perfect words, no need to hide I know you're hurting, too It's alright! We can make it through It's alright! There's a place for you Every scar, every tear, every fight We can stand together in the light It's alright! Let the fear fall down It's alright! We are here and now You are enough, just as you are Keep on moving, no matter how far It's alright... you're not alone Be true to yourself Keep moving on...
