I want to be the one you come back to
Every time you feel like quitting
You remember me and you smile
We had our ups and downs
But in the end, we both know
We’re stronger together
So don’t be afraid to share your feelings
With me because I might just understand
Where you’re coming from
Don’t be afraid to cry
Won’t you let me be the one you come back to
Every time you feel like quitting
You remember me and you smile
Then we can work our problems through
And so my friend, I invite you to share
With me your heart because I know it’s there
And I will try to help you understand
Where you’re coming from
If you want to talk or just want to share
Your feelings then don’t be shy
I will be your best friend
And if you want to cry then cry into my shoulder
I will understand if you can’t express
Your feelings in a better way
So don’t be afraid to share your heart with me
Because I will try to help you understand
Where you’re coming from
Love Yourself’
I’m a firm believer in loving yourself
And not putting too much pressure on yourself
It’s easy to feel isolated when you’re in a bad mood
And sometimes you can feel like you’re not good enough
But you know what?
The most important thing is that you’re happy with yourself
Because when you feel good about yourself
Then you’ll automatically feel good about others.
You’ve got to learn to love yourself
And I think that’s what this song is really about.
Find Your Own Way
Sometimes you feel like you were born to do something different
You feel like you’re not entirely sure
What your purpose is in life
But then you realize that you were put on this Earth
To find your own way
And that you should enjoy your life
Because who knows what might happen?
So when you find yourself asking questions like this
You’ve got to start believing that everything’s going to be okay
You’ve just got to take a step back and find your own way
I mean, I think we’ve all been there.
We’ve seen some pretty messed up things
And sometimes it gets a little overwhelming
But when you find your own way
You’ll be able to look at everything clearly
And you’ll be able to enjoy your life
Even when it’s tough.
Let It Go
One of the hardest things as a human being is to let go
Of all the people and things we’ve learned to hate
We’ve all had those people or things that we just couldn’t let go of
They came into our lives and then they just wouldn’t leave us alone
It wasn’t that we wanted them to leave but it just felt like they were there to stay
And when that happens you start to see the world differently
You start to appreciate what you have instead of what you lack
And you realize that you’re never going to be perfect
But together, we can be the change we want to see in the world
So let it go and let yourself be happy
I mean, you’ve got a really cool life, you know
Actors, musicians, writers, directors, and many other things you may not even realize you do
You may not have had many struggles in life, but you’ve definitely had some challenges
You get out of bed every day and you put one foot in front of the other
And that’s an incredible thing
Because we all need a reason to get out of bed
Even those of us who feel like we have it pretty good
We still have problems, and we’re all human
So let it go and let yourself be happy
You’re awesome just the way you are
Don’t compare yourself to other people
You never know how someone else’s day may be
So don’t worry about what happened yesterday or what’s going to happen tomorrow
Live your life and let things be what they are
Because things are definitely not what they’re cracked up to be
And that’s okay
You’ve got this huge world out there, and you’re in it alone basically
So you’ve got to take matters into your own hands and fix things up yourself
I mean, you’re clever and strong and things probably won’t go too bad
But still, life can get pretty lonely sometimes
So what do you do?
You’ve got to let it go and let yourself be happy
You can’t control how other people are going to act
And you shouldn’t try to control how things are going to turn out
Because, ultimately, you’re in charge of your own life
So be happy with what you’ve got
Don’t waste your time feeling sorry for yourself
You’ve got a really cool life, you know
You’ve got good friends and family who care about you
And I’m sure would miss you if you weren’t here
So let it go and let yourself be happy
You’re awesome just the way you are
Don’t compare yourself to other people
You never know how someone else’s day may be
So don’t worry about what happened yesterday or what’s going to happen tomorrow
Live your life and let things be what they are
Because things are definitely not what they’re cracked up to be
And that’s okay
When I first heard this song I was really confused
Because it doesn’t seem like a happy song to me
But then I remembered watching the movie, The Princess Bride, and watching Fred Savage sing this song.
And something clicked inside my head.
Savage’s performance made the song sound different
He had this amazing lower register that was so deep and rich
It sounded like he was singing from the very bottom of his soul
And the song came alive for me in a way that it never had before
I started to see the world through Fred Savage’s eyes
And everything became clear.
Savage’s performance elevated the song and made me care about the characters and the story more
I remember when I was a kid, I would always watch TV shows or movies
