Open Up by Clue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never met him,
but every time I mentioned it, that smile on your face,
said you were happy you’re together,
but I tragically resent it,
well in actual fact,
the actual act itself,
is nothing but an action of repentance,
see i’m actually a mess,
just knowing that you’ll blame yourself,
is messing with my head,
imagining the pain you’ve felt,
the weight thats on your chest,
it only takes a thought,
then a matter of a second and
another person dead,
Hold it together,
I know that this will weigh you down,
and drown you in remorse
but now you gotta keep your head above,
the water, cause the rain will stop,
and bring the brighter weather,
just keep the happy thoughts,
and hold on to them forever,
and they say that lifes unfair,
I know now that is certain,
sure as hell you don’t deserve
to be the one to hold that burden,
and I know you must be hurting,
thats why I had to write to,
let you know your brothers
always got a shoulder you can cry too,
I do.
[Hook]
So just open up now,
just gotta let it all out,
cause when rain gets steady,
and the weight gets heavy,
I can pick you off the ground
and we both know, it can all go,
in a moment, won’t let it own us,
so just stand tall, cause I know you’re strong enough,
when its too much, well I hope you open up.
[Verse 2]
But see isn't that the thing,
If only he had stopped to think,
Though I didn't know his story,
I'm not saying that I did,
Or maybe that's just it,
a tragedy that's caused
By overthinking on the little things,
and skipping all the bigger risks,
like what my happen to your mother,
or your father, or you girlfriend,
or your brother,
when they found that you departed?
forever they’ll be guarded,
and wondering if there was anything they
could have said to have you stop before you started.
I mean, you’re just a teen,
a dream, you could have seen,
a scene thats not as bleak,
as they’re leading you to believe,
and by leaving em,
you succeeded at beating em to their knees,
and defeating em, honestly,
it don’t sound like an achievement,
I mean it, I know you’re hurting,
but passing all that pain along to someone that you love,
think on if its really worth it?
so when you’re feeling worthless,
and you feel that you’ll succumb you,
must remember theres at least one person on this earth that loves you,
