Beautifully Painfully Different
I feel it all…
Every word…
Every silence… Every goodbye…
Maybe I’m not broken…
Maybe I’m just…
DIFFERENT.
I wear a smile like a loaded gun,
Hide every war from everyone.
One minute I’m reaching for the sky,
The next I’m watching everything
die. I don’t know who I’m supposed to be,
When every version still feels like me.
I love too hard,
I hurt too deep,
And every promise I make—I keep!
Don’t tell me I’m too much,
Don’t tell me I’m impossible.
You don’t have to understand me…
JUST DON’T LEAVE ME IN THE DARK.
BEAUTIFULLY, PAINFULLY DIFFERENT! I FEEL EVERYTHING YOU NEVER DID!
Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m not,
BUT I’M STILL HERE WITH EVERYTHING
I’VE GOT!
BEAUTIFULLY, PAINFULLY DIFFERENT! I won’t apologize for what I feel!
You can call me complicated— BUT YOU’LL NEVER TELL ME I’M NOT
REAL! I built these walls just to watch them fall,
Afraid you’ll leave before I lose it all.
I chase the feeling,
I fear the fall,
I want forever— BUT I FEAR IT ALL!
My heart can turn from fire to
ice, One moment wrong can change everything twice.
But underneath every scar I hide,
There’s still a part of me FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE!
Don’t tell me I’m too much,
Don’t tell me I’m impossible.
You don’t have to understand me… JUST STAY.
Maybe someday I’ll understand
Why my heart feels everything this way.
Maybe someday I’ll stop fighting
Every part of myself I tried to erase.
I don’t need you to fix me… I just need you to
see me.
SEE ME! When I’m falling!
HEAR ME! When I’m calling!
DON’T LEAVE! When I’m terrified!
I’M STILL HERE! I’M STILL ALIVE!
BEAUTIFUL!
PAINFUL! DIFFERENT!
I’m not broken…
I’M BEAUTIFULLY, PAINFULLY DIFFERENT!
BEAUTIFULLY, PAINFULLY DIFFERENT! I FEEL EVERYTHING—AND I’M STILL HERE!
Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m not,
BUT I’LL KEEP FIGHTING WITH EVERYTHING I’VE GOT!
BEAUTIFULLY,
PAINFULLY DIFFERENT! I DON’T NEED TO BE LIKE EVERYONE!
This is my heart,
This is my voice,
THIS IS ME—
AND I’S NOT RUNNING ANYMORE!
Beautifully…
Painfully…
Different… And maybe… that’s okay.
