No Es Fácil

Nobody told you that getting up should be more than once
And that life spins you around to show you what you can't see today
The internet makes it look easy, but it’s never that simple
Finding peace might just come with age

And if you cover your wounds with band-aids again
It never stops hurting, no matter how hard you try month after month
You gotta face yourself and sort it out even if it stresses you out
So you can see your reflection and like what you see

It's not easy
And if that's what you think, you're in for a tough time
'Cause nobody got strong without being fragile first
Lift your head up, you’re not weak

You already know how to get up, just look at where you are
You've achieved great things and didn’t think you could
Life has taken away from you, but you always added more
What’s easy goes away easy, and it’s fleeting

I’ve learned that you can’t fill the voids
With material things, it’s the special stuff
That you can’t buy, 'cause money buys everything today
But even if they feel rich, their poverty is still mental

Whoever learns to love themselves has discovered
That in self-love, they’re an expert and that life is so fleeting
Filling a void with people
Will always make you run from the cold that anxiety brings

It's not easy
And if that's what you think, you're in for a tough time
'Cause nobody got strong without being fragile first
Lift your head up, you’re not weak

You already know how to get up, just look at where you are
You've achieved great things and didn’t think you could
Life has taken away from you, but you always added more
What’s easy goes away easy, and it’s fleeting

I’m grateful to those who left
'Cause I didn’t see myself for being foolish
I lowered myself to look for scraps
And lost my self-respect

And the voids in my soul I filled until I saw myself
'Cause I understood: I’m still alive and it’s because of me
Life goes on even when it doesn’t
Like I used to believe

To be strong, I was fragile first
And that’s how I became
This person who looks at themselves
And can believe in who they are

Since I shine from within
I can see my light
It's not easy, and just like they sell it, it seems tough
Social media never shows that it’s okay to be fragile

And they want you to believe that crying makes you weak
You’re gonna get up, just look at where you are
You've achieved great things and didn’t think you could
Life has taken away from you, but you always

But we’re gonna make it.
