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
