Valid

You're a valid person no matter how you feel
You're a valid person and your emotions are real
You're a valid person so let's make a deal
Don't give up tonight, cause recovery is real

You look a little down and lost lately, so are you sure that you're okay
Do you need to take a break from that smile you've been putting on your face
Are you really happy or are you just masking the truth and putting up a fake front
Cause you're scared that leaving someone else may take your place

If you're feeling low then how long have you been feeling this way
Are you tired of waking up and using your energy to get out of bed every day
Have you distanced yourself from everyone
Cause you think without you here this world is a better place
What's really going on right now and are you sure that you're okay
Look I may be a stranger but I promise that I care about how you really feel
I see that everyone believes you're happy but I'm questioning if that smile is even real
You don't need to be someone you're not and it's okay to feel what you feel
Know you're not alone in this journey, I'm by your side cause let's be real
This isn't a fight that you can fight all on your own without feeling low
I'm afraid that if I leave you on your own you may end up buried six feet below
I'm knocking on your door so please let me in
I just want to say hello and bring peace to your mind
And I'll tell your demons that they need to go

Look I understand that life is hard right now and you don't know what to do
But I know I'm here to help and I will always be there for you
I know you're tired of the liars saying you want attention but that's not true
I know you just want to live your life and be apologetically you
Don't let anyone drag you down because you deserve to smile
And judging by your eyes I can see that you haven't been happy for a while
You look exhausted as though you've been running mile after mile
To try and find some freedom that will bring back your smile

I know that it's hard but is there a reason that you just don't open up
Do you fear being pushed away and left abandoned in the cold and dark
Are you scared of getting hurt again and so you keep your guard shut
Are you afraid they'll use it against you and break your already broken heart
Is it like you want to open up but you just can't find the right words to say
Do you struggle to tell someone if you're not having an easy day
Do you wait until it gets so bad because you don't want them to walk away
Why do you keep it to yourself and drown silently in your pain
I know how hard talking really is but I promise that I believe in you
Millions of people recover every day and I know that you can too
I know that you feel alone in this world and you feel there's nothing you can do
But reality is that I'm here to talk about whatever you're going through
I know that ending it all is what you want to do but please don't take your life
I understand that times are hard right now but please put down the knife
Let us talk this through and find a way to help you get better and keep your life
Because I don't want to lose another person to this thing we all call suicide

Look I understand that life is hard right now and you don't know what to do
But know that I'm here to help and I will always be there for you
I know you're tired of the liars saying you want attention but that's not true
I know you just want to live your life and be apologetically you
Don't let anyone drag you down because you deserve to smile
And judging by your eyes I can see that you haven't been happy for a while
You look exhausted as though you've been running mile after mile
To try and find some freedom that will bring back a smile

The sun is setting over the most beautiful beach I've ever seen
The golden sun is being washed over by the calm gentle sea
I'm watching the sky glow orange and I've never felt more free
There's nothing better than sitting on the sand with my feet in the sea
That could be you one day if you just stay here and don't go tonight
You have so many reasons to live so let's put up the fight
That could be you if you choose to make the right decision tonight
And let someone inside so they can help clear your mind

You're a valid person no matter how you feel
You're a valid person and your emotions are real
You're a valid person so let's make a deal
Don't give up tonight because recovery is real
