sometimes you will get hurt
people will hurt you
and you will hurt them
sometimes when you fall
you brush yourself down and get right back into the game
and sometimes you just don't have the strength
sometimes you can look too hard and miss what's right in front of you
and sometimes when you're coasting
you'll find what you didn't know you were looking for
sometimes when you least expect it
you'll look up and see two shooting stars in one night
sometimes you'll be ambushed by sparks and butterflies
and sometimes they'll creep up on you quietly with stealth
sometimes you make the same mistakes time and again
and find yourself wondering why
sometimes you learn from them and feel better for it
sometimes you'll feel lost
and someone will come into your life and show you the way
sometimes you'll feel too scared to take risks
and you'll wrap yourself up in cotton wool to brace yourself from hurt
but if you never take risks, then you risk your happiness
