Don't Let It Break You, Let It Make You
Hear the clanking of your sword drop
slipped right past your neck
Hear your tear caught on your white dress
They sewn your mouth shut
I promise you that it’s not your fault
You tried your best isn’t that good enough
Life happens not according to plan
Even a map can’t take you home
Don’t let it break you, Let it make you
Words shouldn’t hurt you, they build you
You’re not a puppet, break from the seams
It will get better, one day you’ll see
Even bright lights flicker when it rains
The moonlight covered on cloudy days
I’ll listen to the millions of stories
during the bedtimes in the days ahead
Don’t let it break you, Let it make you
Words shouldn’t hurt you, they build you
