Anyway
My mask is unbreakable
Despite all the pain
I am unshakeable
But inside, I’m insane
Forever and ever and ever
Drifting away
I’ll never, never, never
Be the same
I feel it in each word
It hits me day after day
Like a flightless bird in a cage
I was never really free anyway
Baby, baby
It’s not what you wanted
But it’s all you need
It’s ok that you’re not okay
Who wants perfect anyway?
I know it feels like you’re falling down (Falling down)
I know it feels like you’ve hit the ground (Hit the ground)
I know it feels like there’s no way out (No way out)
Darling, take my hand now
I know it’s hard sometimes
To look to the sky
I know these are tough times
Just let your tears dry
It doesn’t feel right (Anyway)
Shadows in the night (Anyway)
Open your eyes (Anyway)
So you can see the light
Baby, baby
It’s not what you wanted
But it’s all you need
It’s ok that you’re not okay
Cause baby, who wants perfect anyway?
Darling, you’re perfect anyway
(Anyway)
(Anyway)
(Anyway)
Anyway

Aloha, strangers! This piece is written somewhat for myself and also partially for everyone else out there that feels the same way I do every day. Sending virtual hugs!
