You wanna know how to be happy
Well I don't think you can handle it
Because this truth isn't gonna hurt you
It's gonna kill you
No one wants to be told
That they could be doing better
And that the life they created sucks
And for a long time
I would rather deny a hard truth than to face it
Yeah, I haven't taken care of my body I know
Yeah, I messed up my past pretty bad
And yeah, I lost a loved one
But you know what
I'm still standing
And I know you don't want to hear it
And I know your heart is filled with pain
But the way I see it is
There's two types of pain in this world
The pain that hurts you and the pain that changes you
So look in the mirror and stare at your pain
You wanna know why you're still not happy
Because you haven't turned your hurting pain
Into your powerful change
Find the strength within your pain
Because that's the only way
That you're gonna change your pain
Because I did
And so can you
And now my pain motivates me
I don't hide a smile behind my pain anymore
I smile because my pain fuels my goals
They said I was never gonna make it
They said I wouldn't ever be successful
They said I was incapable of love
And it hurts
But it now fuels my motivation
And makes me stronger than I ever was before
So keep hating
Keep calling me worthless
Keep telling me that I'm a no one
Because your hate is making me great
Don't be afraid of pain anymore
The best gift you've got for this world is your pain
So stop letting it hurt you
You got powers that you're not using
Because nobody ever told you that pain is good
Nobody ever told you that your pain
Is gonna help someone someday
Only you can take the worst parts of your life
And make a difference in this world
And there's a reason that you're going through this pain
And don't ever say that you're not strong enough
To get through it
Because I know anyone can give up
It's the easiest thing in the world to do
But to hold it together
When everyone expects you to fall apart
