Hey, what a way to spend a day,
Hey, what a way to spend a day,

I make a vow
Right here and now

I’m gonna spend my time this way
I’m gonna spend my time this way…

You can be amazing
You could turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s going to hurt you the way the words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
With what you wanna say,
And let the words fall out,
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

— Sara Bareilles, ‘Brave’

Stop worrying where you’re going-
Move on
If you can know where you’re going
You’ve gone
Just keep moving on

I chose, and my world was shaken-
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken
The choosing was not
You have to move on

One day you’re going to have to face
A deep dark truthful mirror
And it’s going to tell you things that I still love you too much to say.
The sky was just a purple bruise,
The ground was iron,
And you fell all round the town, until you looked the same.

The same eyes, the same lips,
The same lie from your tongue trips,
Deep dark truthful mirror
Deep dark truthful mirror…

— Elvis Costello, ‘Deep Dark Truthful Mirror’

Pride like promises can let you down
You thought that you’d be feeling better by now
You worry all the things they could do to you
You worry about the things they could say
Maybe you’re seeing things the wrong way…

And when the kids on the street say
“What’s your problem girl?”
And the weight of their smile gets too much for you to bear
When they all make you feel like
You’re a problem girl
Remember
You’re no problem at all
You’re no problem at all…

— Rob Thomas, ‘Problem Girl’
