Before you fall in love again,
I hope that you can mend.
I pray that you may find,
some place to rest your mind.
I hope you can forgive,
even if you can’t forget.
Let go but take what you have learned,
Believing you can start again.
Before you fall in love again,
Believe in who you are,
You’re stronger now and wiser, too,
despite your many scars.
Rebuild your life each little step,
don’t listen to your fears,
That day will come to smile again,
and you’ll forget your tears.
