Music has been a huge part of my life ever since I was a little girl. It heals. It saves lives. It's everything to me. Here are some of my favorite lyrics from some of my favorite songs. I hope they can help you as much as they have helped me.
I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world.
A Place in This World - Taylor Swift
I, I'll get by. I, I'll survive. When the world's crashing down. When I fall and hit the ground. I will turn myself around. Don't you try to stop me. I, I won't cry.
Alice - Avril Lavigne
It happens all the time. They take your heart and steal your life. And it's as though you feel you've died. 'Cause you've been killed inside. But yet you're still alive. Which means you will survive.
Beautiful Pain - Eminem
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful. They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you.
Beautiful - Eminem
I walk a lonely road. The only road that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes. But it's only me and I walk alone.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
When you're broken in a million little pieces. And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore. Every tear falls down for a reason. Don't you stop believing in yourself when you're broken.
Broken - Lindsey Haun.
Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees. Fight for what we've worked for all these years. And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives. But we'll stand up champions tonight.
Change - Taylor Swift
I got off track, I made mistakes. Back slid my way into that place. Where souls get lost, lines get crossed. And the pain won't go away. I hit my knees, now here I stand. There I was, now here I am. Here I am, changed.
Changed - Rascal Flatts
But your words don't hurt me. I will be okay. 'Cause you don't hurt me. I won't mold to your silly words. I won't live inside your world. 'Cause your punches and your names. All your jokes and stupid games. They don't work. No, they don't hurt. Watch them just go right through me. Because they mean nothing to me. I'm not clay.
Clay - Grace Vanderwaal
So let your heart, sweet heart be your compass when you're lost. And you should follow it wherever it may go. When it's all said and done. You can walk instead of run. 'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone.
Compass - Lady Antebellum
You're not alone, I'll listen 'til your tears give out. You're safe and sound. I swear that I won't let you down. What's hurting you I, I feel it too. I mean it when I say when you cry, I cry with you.
Cry with You - Hunter Hayes
Darlin, you're hiding in the closet once again. Start smiling. I know you're trying real hard not to turn your head away. Pretty darlin. Face tomorrow, tomorrow's not yesterday. Pretty please, I know it's a drag. Wipe your eyes and put up your head. Wish you could be happy instead. There's nothing else I can do but love you the best that I can.
Darlin - Avril Lavigne
Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe me something. A day in the life of someone else. Don't let me get me.

Everybody hurts some days. It's ok to be afraid. Everybody hurts, everybody screams, everybody feels this way. And it's ok.
Everybody Hurts - Avril Lavigne
God, I don't have to see you. I know that you're there.
Faith to Fall Back On - Hunter Hayes
I woke up this mornin' with this feeling inside me that I can't explain. Like a weight that I've carried, been carried away, away. But I know something is comin'. I don't know what it is. But I know it's amazing, can save me, my time is comin'. I'll find my way out of this longest drought.
Feels Like Today - Rascal Flatts
Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you.

Just reach up, don't give up. Until you've touched the sky. Just reach up, don't give up. Until you've realized that we were all meant to fly.
Fly - Avril Lavigne
You don't always have to do everything right. Stand up for yourself and put up a fight. Walk around with your hands in the air. Like you don't care.
Freak Out - Avril Lavigne
Pretty, pretty please don't you ever, ever feel. Like you're less than fuckin' perfect.
Fuckin' Perfect - P!nk
So this is for every kid who all's they ever did was dreamt of one day just getting accepted. I represent him or her and anyone similar. You are the reason that I made this song. And anything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more. From this day forward just let them a-holes talk. Take it with a grain of salt and eat their fucking faces off.
Guts Over Fear - Eminem
He ain't the leavin' kind. He'd never walk away. Even from those who don't believe and wanna leave Him behind. He ain't the leavin' kind.
He Ain't the Leavin' Kind - Rascal Flatts
But I'm only human. And I bleed when I fall down. I'm only human. And I crash and I break down. Your words in my head, knives in my heart. You build me up and then I fall apart. 'Cause I'm only human.
Human - Christina Perri
'Cause I have been where you are before. And I have felt the pain of losing who you are. And I have died so many times but I am still alive.
I Believe - Christina Perri
'Cause I feel so mad. I feel so angry. I feel so callous. So lost, confused again. I feel so cheap. So used, unfaithful. Let's start over, let's start over.
I Feel So - Box Car Racer
I will stand by you, I will help you through. When you've done all you can do and you can't cope. I will dry your eyes, I will fight your fight. I will hold you tight and I won't let go.
I Won't Let Go - Rascal Flatts
It's a damn cold night trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand. Take me somewhere new. I don't know who you are but I, I'm with you. Why is everything so confusing? Maybe I'm just out of my mind.
I'm With You - Avril Lavigne
I found a place so safe, not a single tear. The first time in my life and now it's so clear. Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here. It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere. I wouldn't change a thing about it. This is the best feeling. This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay. This moment is perfect, please don't go away. I need you now. and I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by.
Innocence - Avril Lavigne
'Cause you always felt so small. But know you aren't at all. And I hope you feel inspired.
Inspired - Miley Cyrus
Trust the one who's been where you are. Wishing all it was, was sticks and stones. Those words cut deep but they don't mean you're all alone. And you're not invisible. Hear me out. There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now. Someday you'll look back on all these days. And all this pain is gonna be invisible.
Invisible - Hunter Hayes
And I don't want the world to see me. 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken. I just want you to know who I am.
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
You're not alone. Together we stand. I'll be by your side. You know I'll take your hand. When it gets cold and it feels like the end. There's nowhere to go. You know I won't give in. No, I won't give in. Keep holding on. 'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through. Just stay strong. 'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you. There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do. There's no other way when it comes to the truth. So, keep holding on. 'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.
Keep Holding On - Avril Lavigne
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to. Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to. I hope you know somebody loves you. And wants the same things too. Yeah, this is my wish.
My Wish - Rascal Flatts
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see I'm for real. I feel what only I can feel and if that don't appeal to you. Let me know and I'll go. 'Cause I flow better when my colors show. And that's the way it has to be, honestly. 'Cause creativity could never bloom in my room. I'd throw it all away before I'd lie. So don't call me with a compromise. Hang up the phone. I got a backbone stronger than yours.
Nobody's Fool - Avril Lavigne
Her feelings she hides. Her dreams she can't find. She's losing her mind. She's falling behind. She can't find her place. She's losing her faith. She's falling from grace. She's all over the place.
Nobody's Home - Avril Lavigne
But people have problems that are worse than mine. I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time. I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouth. I'm not strong enough to deal with it. I am slowly falling apart. I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start. And you might think it's easy being me. You just stand still, look pretty.
Stand Still, Look Pretty - The Wreckers
'Cause when push comes to shove. You taste what you're made of. You might bend 'til you break. 'Cause it's all you can take. On your knees, you look up. Decide you've had enough. You get mad, you get strong. Wipe your hands, shake it off. Then you stand.
Stand - Rascal Flatts
Hold on, baby you're losing it. The water's high, you're jumping into it then letting go. And no one knows that you cry. But you don't tell anyone. That you might not be the golden one. And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone.
Tied Together with a Smile - Taylor Swift
And I want to believe you when you tell me that it will be okay. I try to believe you. Not today... Tomorrow it may change. May be a better day.
Tomorrow - Avril Lavigne

Try - P!nk
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell. I know right now you can't tell. But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see. A different side of me.

So you go and make it happen. Do your best. Just keep on laughing. I'm telling you there's always a brand new day.
Who Knows - Avril Lavigne
'Cause when you're all alone and it's cold. And there's no one to hold. When you're feeling lost and there's nowhere, there's nowhere to go. When you're feeling sad, don't forget you can reach for my hand. When you're feeling down just remember, I won't let you go. I won't let you go.
Won't Let You Go - Avril Lavigne
