How can you say goodbye to memories you never had
and how can you hold on to the past, when the past was never there
All the tears and the heartache that make life worse and worse
It all seems its for nothing because nothing is what its worth
I see so many people in this world do so much for a taste of love
But what good is a taste if its just an imitation of the real thing
Why go searching for something so small when
Nine times out of ten, its sitting right there
What's up with the insecurity and all the hate
When you put the two together, its not a great sight
The things people do to put others down
All for the artificial prize of holding themselves up
Feelings of joy and happiness found in ugly ways is just a contradiction
Because in reality, you've created a temporary situation
And then, when the feeling is gone just as soon as it came
Then the ugliness continues just to hide your true pain
The truth of the matter is there is joy in being you
Just a bonafide, unaltered, natural, you
It is this key that unlocks true happiness
It is a feeling a freedom, a break from the vice of life
So to anyone who is truly feeling down and out
To anyone who has simply had enough
To anyone who needs a sign of relief
Just stay true to yourself and you will be free
