A Band Aid Can't Heal Everything
When I was three
i scraped my knee so i
put a band aid on it.
I fell in the park
got an ugly looking scar
put a band aid on it.
And that time when my elbow was bleeding
without barely seeing
i put a band aid on it.
but i was never told
that as i got older id have to put the band aids on hold.
cause theres things im surrounded by, things like hate
that by the time i find a band aid its way too late.
and now our relationship is falling apart
and theres no band aid to fix this broken heart.
and i find myself crying, almost every day
but theres no band aid to wipe the tears away.
i guess my heart by a band aid will never be put together
this is the kind of pain i'll have to live with forever
and i think the most important thing i learned in life, if anything,
is that a band aid can't fix everything.
