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
