here’s to new beginnings
be a queen, not a pawn
yeah, it’s hard to remember, but you can start over whenever you want
here’s to new beginnings
and to who you’ve always been
you think it’ll be there forever, but you can shed that thick skin
it’s okay to be gentle, to be soft
you might be sailing alone, but everyone’s lost
you may stumble, you might feel unsteady
but you won’t miss your own boat
you can’t miss your own boat
it leaves when it’s ready
you don’t have to answer
to anyone who’s not you
yeah, it’s hard to remember, but you set the tempo, you get to choose
so here’s your new beginning
close your eyes, try again
let yourself take a breath now
you have unlimited attempts
it’s okay to be gentle, to be soft
you might be sailing alone, but everyone’s lost
you may stumble, you might feel unsteady
but you won’t miss your own boat
you can’t miss your own boat
it leaves when it’s ready
we all gotta power through
and fill up on gratitude
when you think you’ve had it, you
see your sadness through
it’s okay to be gentle, to be soft
you might be sailing alone, but everyone’s lost
you may stumble, you might feel unsteady
but you won’t miss your own boat
you can’t miss your own boat
it leaves when it’s ready

love yourself harder

look
there you are again
not always your friend
your relationship is so love hate
look
when you’re all alone
do you feel at home
when there’s a shiver that you can’t shake
if you come undone
you don’t worry yourself
you just fixate on someone
you think you wanna help
you don’t need to play the martyr
you gotta love yourself harder now
you don’t need to play the martyr
you gotta love yourself harder now
you
got so many songs to sing
but you choose suffering
when you disappear into someone who makes you
look
away from the here and now
you’re left wondering how
you could ever stay here, cause
if you come undone
you don’t worry yourself
you just fixate on someone
you think you wanna help
you don’t need to play the martyr
you gotta love yourself harder now
you don’t need to play the martyr
you gotta love yourself harder now
you don’t need to play the martyr
you don’t have to give yourself away
if you love yourself harder
you know it's gonna be okay

full of magic

it'll be okay, honey
i know the stars aren’t out right now
and your eyes and nose are runny
and the night isn’t kind right now
you, you see the light in
the truth
telling you to hold on
you’re through
silencing any voice inside
life is twisted and people have hurt you
but love is not dead cause you won’t desert you
and it might be tragic
it might last far too long
but you’re full of magic
finding the strength to move on
you’re the home to come home to
you are chaos yet steady
and you might be on your own
but the world isn’t ready for
you, you see the light in
the truth
telling you to hold on
you’re through
silencing any voice inside
life is twisted and people have hurt you
but love is not dead cause you won’t desert you
and it might be tragic
it might last far too long
but you’re full of magic
finding the strength to move on
you need yourself right now
you need you to hold onto
you’re planting seeds right now
and they take some time to bloom
so just be right now
just be right now
just be
life is twisted and people have hurt you
but love is not dead cause you won’t desert you
and it might be tragic
it might last far too long
but you’re full of magic
finding the strength to move on

something good
03:25

don’t choke it out
before it has time to take its first breath
i know you’re excited, feelin nervous
when it’s new, it’s gotta breathe
don’t fool yourself
you’re lookin at a square peg in a round hole
when you force things you look just like a scoundrel
and hey, don’t you wanna be free
when something good comes along we try to regulate it
it’s our own messed up way of attempted celebration
when something good comes along we try to make it perfect
we think we’re being earnest, turns out maybe we weren’t
when something good comes along, can we let it be?
let it unfold naturally
wontcha get a clue
your perception and reality will never meet
so just face the facts, that your data’s incomplete
cause your fingerprints are on everything
see something beautiful
like a flower minding its own business
can you take in the beauty, only as a witness?
why do we uproot and displace wonderful things?
when something good comes along we try to regulate it
it’s our own messed up way of attempted celebration
when something good comes along we try to make it perfect
we think we’re being earnest, turns out maybe we weren’t
when something good comes along, can we let it be?
let it unfold naturally

no one's immune

you thought the moment was right
you’re in fight or flight though
you can’t always tell
you could hide from the light or
decide that you might
try to climb out the well
when you’ve spent so much time underground
you don’t know if you’ll like the fresh air
or make believe that it’s easy to breathe
blending in with the crowd up there
listen to your gut when you bleed
you know what you know
that’s all you need
you’re all you need
it’s okay, let yourself fall apart
no one’s immune
to a broken heart
so just let it break
afraid to look at your shame
or call it by its name
when you live in distress
part of your power is your pain
your face in the rain
is the face you know best
cause you’ve been set up to know love in tiny twisted doses
you know you’re worthy of more
wish time could stop right now and let you out to take a load off
you’ll know the time to restore when you
listen
to your gut when you bleed
you know what you know
that’s all you need
you’re all you need
it’s okay
let yourself fall apart
no one’s immune
to a broken heart
so just let it break
and you will be free
let yourself fall apart
no one’s immune
no one’s immune
no one’s immune
