Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
Try not to say anything weird
Save your questions without answers til you're old enough to know
Things ain't as they appear

Before you go out in the sun
Cover your skin and don't get burned
Beware that cancer, it might kill you when you're old
Be first in line, raise your hand
Remember everything you hear
But playing in the rain is worth catching cold

Sooner or later, we'll be looking back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening
And someday - you might listen to what people have to say
But now you learn the hard way

We only want what's best for you
That's why we tell you what to do
And nevermind if nothing makes sense
It all works out in the end
Be just like us without a friend
Or you can build a privacy fence

Sooner or later, we'll be looking back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening
And someday - you might listen to what people have to say
But now you learn the hard way

Some things you have to learn them all on your own
You can't rely on anybody else
Or the point of view of a source unknown
If it feels good and it sounds nice,
Then it's your choice
So don't doubt yourself, don't even think twice

Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
You know they like it when you smile
(Find a reason to smile)
Try not to focus on yourself
Share that love with someone else
Don't let the bitters bring you down
Don't let anything bring you down

-'Sooner or Later', Michael Tolcher

61 straight days of crying is a long time to be sad without any breaks in between.

I had a dream last night and the only thing I remember from it was someone telling me to smile. I could only fake one.

What did I do to deserve this?
