Verse 1
We're all bunch of strangers
No one really knows your name and
We're all bunch of strangers
So different but so much the same and
Even if we're neighbors
We’re right beside you but we’re worlds apart and
Even if we're neighbors
I know your face but I don't know your heart so
Chorus
Open up the doors let me in
Open up your heart you'll feel it
Let your guard down you don't need it
Show me that your heart is beating
Verse 2
We’re all a bunch of strangers
Just searching for a place called home and
We’re all a bunch of strangers
Close together but we feel alone and
We’ve got a deeper layer
We want the truth but we still tend to hide it
We’ve got a deeper layer
You know my face but don’t know what’s inside me
Chorus 2
Open up the doors let me in
Open up your heart you'll feel it
Let your guard down you don't need it
Show me that your heart is beating
Open up the some more let me in
Open up you’ll start to feel it
Break the wall down you don’t need it
Show me that your heart is beating
Bridge
Why do we hide from each other?
Why do we run from the light?
We could be sisters and be brothers?
We can be friends
We can be friends
We can be friends so just open up
Or you’ll never know so
Chorus 3
Open up the doors let me in
Open up your heart you'll feel it
Let your guard down you don't need it
Show me that your heart is beating
Open up the some more let me in
Open up you’ll start to feel it
Break the wall down you don’t need it
Show me that your heart is beating

Verse 1
Here in my sleeping clothes
The first breath I breathe is cold
Trying to get out of bed
Escape the nightmares inside my head
I roll to the other side
I search for the morning light
I'm awake so I hit the snooze
another day with nothing to lose
Chorus
It's okay if you're not okay
It's okay to be afraid
Every day is another day
Another day means there's time to change
Verse 2
On my way out the door
Left my clothes on the floor
Managed to leave my keys
Brought my anxieties
Clouds got me feeling blue
Sunshine now where are you
So much to figure out but
No time to fix it now
Chorus
It's okay if you're not okay
It's okay to be afraid
Every day is another day
Another day means there's time to change
It's okay if you're not okay because
Every day you got time to change
Bridge
Deep down you're hurting
You're lost and you're broken like
Furniture tossed from the roof tearing open
But hurting is feeling it's
Rough but it's real and
It's darkest before dawn you know
oh don't you know
Chorus
It's okay if you're not okay
It's okay to be afraid
Every day is another day
Another day means there's time to change

Verse 1
Sticks and stones might
Break your bones
But words will crush your soul
Careless phrases: how to say this
They’ll leave you far from whole
Pre-Chorus
These wounds don’t heal
It gets hard to feel
Like I’ll be okay
Like I’m carrying more than I weigh
Chorus
So we don’t talk. You turn and walk
And you’re bleeding inside.
Was that just me? Can I trust me?
Am I speaking a lie?
There’s just something inside me I can’t figure out
And I don’t understand what we’re fighting about
So I know: words can break your soul.
Verse 2
How many times do you have hear truth
Don't believe all the lies that I told you
What I’ve done
Now we're drifting apart
When we should have been brothers
We just don’t know each other
And I’m sorry for what I’ve done
Pre-Chorus
And these wounds don’t heal
It gets hard to feel
Will you be okay?
When you're dealing with all that I say
Chorus
So we don’t talk. You turn and walk
And you’re bleeding inside
Was that just me? Can I trust me?
Am I speaking a lie?
There’s just something inside me I can’t figure out
And I don’t understand what we’re fighting about
So I know: words can break your soul.
Bridge
They’ll break your heart
They’ll ruin your day
They’ll break the silence
They’ll make you leave or stay
I’ll do my part
I’ll make your day
I’ll break the darkness
So hear me say
Chorus
Can we just talk? Don't turn and walk
Cause i'm bleeding inside
And I'm sorry
I can't trust me
I was speaking a lie
If there's something inside you
You can't figure out
Then I do wanna hear what you're talking about
So you know
Words can break your soul

Verse 1
I wrote myself a letter saying I hope you’re feeling better
And I hope that now you’re stronger and your worries are no longer
I hope that every time you’re singing that you found a new beginning
And for every tear you’ve cried, at least now I know you’ve tried
Verse 2
And I wrote myself I song, I sang John don’t take too long.
It’s a winding road ahead, and some days you’ll wish you’re dead
And inside it’s like you’re bleeding,
Just to show your heart that it’s still beating
And for every tear you’ve cried, at least now I know you’ve tried
Verse 3
And I drew myself a picture, it’s me singing by the river
In my hand I’ve got this letter it says “I hope you’re feeling better”
And on my mind, I've still got questions but I’ve learned so many lessons
And I'm singing that old song singing "John don't take too long!"
I hope that every choice you've made is in light of what's at stake
These tears may never dry, there’s too much sunshine in my eyes
Bridge
I can't do this on my own
We all need to find a home
But we're running out of time
Every breath a choice is made
Will we like the price we've paid
Always running out of time
My story
It isn't over
So I'll fight this battle
Cause I'm running out of time
Your story
It isn't over
So let's fight this battle
We're all running out of time
