THE LETTER (B-Sides) Front Cover

Lyric

Perfectly Blue (B-Sides)

Back Tired

I know your heart is breaking in the corner of that dark room

Misunderstood, stepped on, and completely alone

Listen to me... you don't have to be perfect

I'm just like you. Let me tell you my story

Faking a smile every single day, it’s killing me inside

Got a mountain of failures that I always try to hide

The phone starts ringing and my chest goes tight with fear

Pop another pill just to make the night disappear

Yeah, they judged you, they cursed you, didn't understand your heart

Brothers and sisters, I know you're tearing apart

But look at your hands, look at the tears you cried

No one on this earth can copy the pain you hold inside

You ain't some textbook definition of "beautiful" or "grand"

But you are the only you, standing in this lonely land

It's okay to lock the door and just stay inside

You've fought so hard, nowhere left to hide

Take a deep breath, let the music heal the scar

You don't have to run, just stay right where you are

Step by step, when the night turns into gray

You don't gotta rush, we can find another way

Even if your knees are shaking from the weight of the stone

Look out the window, you are never alone

Just one inch, just a little bit of light

Open up your eyes when you're ready for the fight

From that quiet room where you used to hide your face

Take a little step into your own beautiful space

Arguments with friends, words that cut you like a knife

They trampled on your pride, made you question your own life

But that broken heart is the proof that you are real

The smarter they talk, the less they actually feel

We don't need their badges, we don't need their fake applause

We are the outcasts living with our own flaws

Slow down the heartbeat, let the anxiety fade away

Tomorrow is just another ordinary day

It's okay to lock the door and just stay inside

You've fought so hard, nowhere left to hide

Take a deep breath, let the music heal the scar

You don't have to run, just stay right where you are

The phone won't hurt you now

Just breathe... just breathe

Step by step, when the night turns into gray

You don't gotta rush, we can find another way

Even if your knees are shaking from the weight of the stone

Look out the window, you are never alone

Just one inch, just a little bit of light

Open up your eyes when you're ready for the fight

From that quiet room where you used to hide your face

Take a little step into your own beautiful space

You made it through tonight. That's a victory

When you're ready, just turn the doorknob

Slowly, on your own time

I'll be waiting right outside the door
