Who Told You
Who told you that you had…
To look back
Cower in fear
To stay in the past forever
Who told you…
To be depressed
To wander all alone
To feel under the weather
Who told you that you can’t…
Forge your own path
Make your own decisions
Live for yourself
Who told you that you had to be…
Alone
Famous
Or someone else
Who told you…
You could hurt
You can never leave
That your life you had to take
Who told you that…
You can’t dream
You don’t have a future
You have to leave every friend that you made
Who told you…
That you’re nothing
That you’ll never amount to anything
That nobody will care
Who told you…
That you couldn’t cry
That you’ll have to rely on yourself...
When your family was always there
Who told you…
That everyone’s problems had to be your own
Who told you…
That you have to face it all alone
Who told you…
Things will never change
The only person telling you is the voice inside your head that…
Tells you things will always be the same
