"Violet" lyrics

Violet, I swear when I was your age
I was dying to grow up so fast
Violet, I know you know that things change
Believe me, I know it hurts so bad

There's gonna be times
Stars don't align
Might even break your heart
Once or twice
Standing alone
Wondering why
It didn't work even though you did everything right

I don't wanna spoil it
It's not always pretty
That's kind of the point of it
Then it's over so quickly
So you hold on
And you learn how
To keep going whether you're on the low ground
Or up on the highest cliff
I hope you feel all of it

Violet, I hope that you speak your mind
And treat everybody with kindness
Even when it's hard, it's okay to fall apart
There's a light in every tunnel
You'll find it

There's gonna be days
When running away
Feels easier than
Being brave
But what if you don't?
What if you stay?
What if it's always gonna be okay?

I don't wanna spoil it
It's not always pretty
That's kind of the point of it
Then it's over so quickly
So you hold on
And you learn how
To keep going whether you're on the low ground
Or up on the highest cliff
I hope you feel all of it

All of the joy
All of the pain
If you cut your hair
It'll grow back the same
All of your dreams
Whatever's inside
If you're feeling something
That means you're alive

I don't wanna spoil it
It's not always pretty
That's kind of the point of it
Then it's over so quickly
So you hold on
And you learn how
To keep going whether you're on the low ground
Or up on the highest cliff
I hope you feel all of it
