I find signs, when you say I'm fine, of breaking down 
So when I see you around 
I hope I'm like sunshine 
And make you wake up 

You've got the world on a string 
You're smarter than you think, I swear 
But there's a war I can see 
Brewing in your mind, I can hear the shells 

Don't be scared 
of the world out there 
Don't be scared 
of the world outside of your mind 
you've got to beat it up 

You've got to be a fool 
You've got to be a star 
You've got to be someone 
So dance like it's prom and you're back home with everyone 

Where you could be a fool 
Where you could be a star 
Where you could be someone 

I see everything that you could be 
I see behind the lies that you tell yourself at night 
when you can't sleep 
I see beyond the way that you can't seem 
to see yourself as a full of worth 
You're a valuable person 
I used to hate myself 
I used to hate my voice and my body 
and the way I interacted at parties 
I hated the way that I thought 
I hated the way that I felt that I wasn't 
what people wanted 
like I just never belonged 
There's this memory of mine 
Where I'm laying in a bathroom thinking suicide 
Thinking who am I? 
I should not survive 
It was embarrassing to breathe 
I felt pathetic even thinking 
This shame just took over my whole being 
Where I felt that my life was an insult to those who loved me 
But here I am, stronger for it 
I'll save a spot for you 

I'll be alright 
I'll be alright 
We'll be alright 
We'll be alright 

I don't think people understand 
I think happiness can be more of a choice 
There is hope in the world, I think 
It's all about how you look at it

We'll Be All Right
