A Letter To Our Younger Self

    A Letter To Our Younger Self

Well move over little self.
Give us a little room by the wishing well.
Give a little listen to us now.
We’re gonna try to save us a lot of hell.

Now we know us a whole lot better.
How we came to be so strong.
Don’t forget what we say now.
Even though you think we’re wrong

   don’t fight so hard to live -
   things happen for a reason.
   don’t fight so hard to live -
   every reaction has a cause.
   don’t fight so hard to live -
   it’ll be better to let go early.
   we know it sounds like treason -
   but don’t fight so hard to live.

So many things will fail.
Too many tears, scars and broken hearts.
If you give us a little listen.
We can stop the pain before it starts.

We’ve been through it all.
Cast our coins into wishing wells.
Listen up little self.
Don’t buy the dream she sells.

   don’t fight so hard to live -
   things happen for a reason.
   don’t fight so hard to live -
   there will be a chance to choose.
   don’t fight so hard to live -
   it’ll be better to let go early.
   we know it sounds like treason -
   but don’t fight so hard to live.
