Smile, girl
Paste a smile on your face
Careful not to let the corners drip
Careful not to let the edges rip
Keep that image there in place
Smile.
---------
Laugh, girl.
Keep it light with jokes and play.
Even when your heart is dead
Even when he's in your head
Don't ruin other people's day
Laugh.
---------
Run, girl.
Tear away like you run with glee
Don't let them know you run to hide
You tear so you won't rip inside
Show them what they want to see
Run.
---------
Skip, girl.
Jump like you did when you were eight
Forgetting that your feet can't bound
Forgetting that your heart weighs pounds
Nobody wants to see heartbreak
Skip.
---------
Sleep, girl.
Put your greying mind to rest
Make it numb, ignore the ache
Black and white bring less heartbreak
Try and drift, just do your best
Sleep.
---------
Shine, girl,
Be a star in darkest night
Although you wish it could've been
Although he haunts you in your dreams
Your friends need you to be a light
So shine.
---------
Dance, girl.
Twirl and leap with joyful ease
Just don't spin out of control
Don't lose yourself in a black hole
Throw your feelings to the breeze
Dance.
---------
Learn, girl.
Grow and change, evolve, become
Chase the memories from your mind
Leave your feelings far behind
Look where you go, not where you're from
Learn.
---------
Move on, girl.
They're sick of hearing how you died
It's time to stop wondering why
It's time to end your tears and sighs
Count the days from when you cried
Move on.
---------
Smile, girl.
Your cracks are gluing as we speak
Remember it'll be alright
Remember that your future's bright
You're far too strong to act this weak
Smile.
