[Chorus]
You feel like no one cares & life is getting tough,
They all wanna break you down but I wanna build you up.

Your daddy told you that you're not good enough,
Your crawling in the dark but I wanna lift you up to freedom.


[Verse 1]
Beneath the sleeves of your faithful sweater,
25 scars say it's hard gettin better,

You hurt so much and school really sucks,
At times you feel like just giving up,
Like you've had enough and you've lost control,

You need to find something just to make it go,
A release from the shame that's building up,
A release from the pain that's never enough,

you're craving somethin, but no one knows what it is,
They just see the sad look on the quiet kid,
With the hood pulled up and the headphones in,

And think they understand what you're dealing with,
But they don't know nothin about the life you live,
The cuts, the tears, the blood and the heartache,

The overwhelming pressure that you can't take!
When life seems like it's one big mess,
Constantly alone, constantly depressed,

Constantly living with this weight on your chest,
Shoulders are heavy and your faith crestfallen,
you're wide awake till 5 in the mornin,

it's hard to sleep when voices are talkin,
Inside your head them voices are calling,
You tried hard but you can't ignore them,

The pressure builds up inside, you're falling.

[Chorus]

You feel like no one cares & life is getting tough,
They all wanna break you down but I wanna build you up.
Your daddy told you that you're not good enough,

Your crawling in the dark but I wanna lift you up to freedom.

[Verse 2]

They wrote love on your arms but it still hurts,
You really wanna get better but it's gettin worse,
You gotta tell somebody before it kills you,

Before it gets too far and overwhelms you,
you're beatin yourself up all the time,
But there is so much more for your life!

So many things that you've yet to see,
So much happiness awaiting if ya just believe,
You were made perfect and you are unique,

You have a purpose and a destiny,
So just hold on tight don't slip away,
It won't be easy but it'll be ok,

We'll make it through the madness,
Triumph over sadness,
The pursuit of happiness is a work in progress!

Your sensitivity is not a disability,
it's ok to cry, it doesn't mean that you're weak!
I know you feel that nobody understands,

But you gotta understand that God's got a plan,
And he want's you to know he saw what you did,
But he stills love's you and he always did,

He never stopped, no matter what you were goin through,
You felt so alone but he was there with you,
So next time you wanna quit please hold on tight,

You gotta make it through the darkness to see the light.

[Chorus]

You feel like no one cares & life is getting tough,
They all wanna break you down but I wanna build you up.
Your daddy told you that you're not good enough,

Your crawling in the dark but I wanna lift you up to freedom.
