One day you’ll forget forever
That thing you did
That one guy you liked
The one day you said forever goodbye
Your mind won’t always want the same things
Your mind won’t also want the same things
Cause other people’s choices shouldn’t direct yours
You should choose your choices
Because you have a voice
People are readable
So rather than be sad
Maybe be the person who makes others glad
You say one day you’ll be happy I say you already are
You don’t have to hide even though
That's the way you are
We should all be happy
We should all be grateful
We should all ever be like that
Even though times can be hurtful
Times are changing and we don’t know what's next
When people hurt our feelings
We don’t have to pretend
Cause life is real for all of us ages
We know it’s all real from all of those pages
So whenever you feel down
Always look up
Cause being happy is actually sometimes enough.
