Heartbreak


Take a breath and look away
The pain you feel isn't here to stay
Close your eyes and count to five
Feel the numbness, you're still alive 
Listen to the rhythm of your heart 
Let yourself fall apart 
Vent to the friend that's always there
You'd be surprised about how many care
Don't go down without a fight 
Don't let someone smother your light 
Stay true to who you are
Don't chase people who've ran too far 
Turn off the pounding inside your head 
Close your eyes and go to bed 
Life is full of twists and turns 
You character, a reflection of your scars and burns 
Find the things that make you whole
Don't let others darken your soul
Be risky and take a chance 
Learn how to make up your own dance
Take a breath and look away 
The pain you feel isn't here to stay
