Go ahead and beg me
Go ahead and cry
Go ahead and do the things you do, but just don’t try
Go ahead and whisper
All the things you hate
But doing this, you won’t ever learn to appreciate
The sun that’s out there
The sky that’s blue
And all the other people who would smile at you
Just look out your window
And you will see
There’s more beauty in this world than what you see in me
Go ahead and sleep all day again
Go ahead, ignore the calls from your friends
Go ahead and fold your dirty clothes
Don’t want to bother, I don’t want to impose
But your life is such a precious thing
You’ll see, once you get over this temporary sting
You can rise above it, we all have to
Turns out many more have suffered much worse than you
Could take a lifetime
To open your eyes
And find struggle can actually be a gift in disguise
But go ahead and lie in bed some more
And waste your time when you could be looking for
That girl that’ll love you just like I do
Who knows? She could even be more perfect for you
Just get yourself out there
It’s been long enough
Life is hard, but it doesn’t have to be so tough
I know you don’t think it’ll be okay
But it will
If you could just listen to me today
And sit still
I can share with you
All that I want for you
And you can choose
To listen
Or just stick to the way that
you live right now
But the sun is shining
The sky is blue
And there are many people who would smile at you
Just look out your window
And you will see
There’s more beauty in this world than just the beauty you see in me
