A Girl Once Told Me

A girl once told me to keep my head high
There's so much more to that worthless sky
She added a heart and made sure I smiled
She made my stay here on earth worthwhile

A girl once told me that people will come and go
But no matter how fast departure travels I should know
That life takes awhile to get used to
And before anything, I should begin with the truth

A girl once told me that pain just goes to show
That I'm not ready to take on tomorrow
But I'm holding on to her words every day
Before I lose myself in my childish ways

A girl once told me that no matter how fast people go
Departure will sadly never be able to slow
And maybe life takes awhile to get in my head
But everything she told me was everything I should've said
