Texted:

I've had to make sacrifices just to find myself
And get lost in all the places that I'd roam
I've had to say words that nobody would listen to
And walk away from hearts that I called home

I've made rivers from the tears that have fallen
I've lost faith in all the truths that I knew
I've been a stranger to the friends who surround me
And let my pain be hidden from their view

I've been taught all that glitters isn't golden
I've learned that there's still more pain to feel
I've become a better me despite falling
Far enough to learn just what was real

There's highs and there's lows and there's learning
There's smiles amid the pain of being true
There's a never ending journey just to give yourself
The only chance you've got of being you
