It's Gonna Be Alright

(written 12/12/2011)

Stop crying now,
It's gonna be alright
No-one can see your tears
No-one has yet beheld your pain.
The years are slipping away
Stick a smile back on your face.
So stop crying,
Stop crying now.
It's all gonna be okay

The year you faced was the toughest one yet
Keep your head up, girl
You're gonna get through
It's gonna be alright.

The night may be dark
But there's always light before the dawn.
The tunnel walls are closing,
They're falling on you
Trying to stop you from getting where you want to go
Run away from the things that stop you
Get away from what is holding you back

Let go of the past
Burn the memories that hurt the most
No-one needs to know
Let it go so you can get out
Of the bitterness and chaos.

Stop lying
It's not going to save your life
Drop the walls you've built around yourself
Girl, it's time to get out.
