Lyrics:
Everything I love seems to be falling apart
You're not broken but you just need some mending
And I'll take the time to pull every stitch
I can't fix you but I promise I'll listen
{Chorus}
So don't be afraid to talk to somebody
Don't be afraid I promise you'll find someone who's safe
Cause we're all learning how to unlearn
Rosy cheeks and tired feet I'm use to climbing mountains
Sweat on my neck and muddy knees
I'm use to falling down, down, use to falling down
I fall into patterns (x7)
I fall into patterns… (x7)
We all carry packs full of bottles and rocks
I know you’re tired but I don’t think it’s over
I see strength in your sadness
Won’t ask you to smile
And it’s ok that you’re not ok
Cause some of my friends they’ve wanted to die
Some of them have made it to the other side
I’ve been where you’re at trying to hold back a knife but the worst of times was when I couldn’t even cry
{Chorus}
The only home that is my own is this body
I am always occupying stolen land
The only home that is my own is this body
So I’ll cover it with sunflowers and songs
And the way that you see me is not my reality
I step out of straight lines
A box can’t define my story
I’m learning how to unlearn
So I listen to voices unheard
I’m learning how to unlearn
So I listen to voices.
