Teach You How To Smile

3:11

Human sadness is so dramatic
Look at you all gloomy again

Heavy little sighs
Those watery eyes
And that terribly serious face

Oh honestly

Come here

You don't have to carry all of that alone

I know it hurts

I know it feels enormous
When you're standing in the middle of it

But listen to me

You're going to be fine

The Goddess said so

Human sadness is so dramatic
But let me fix it

Give me that gloomy little heart
I'll straighten it out

You think the whole world is ending?

No darling

It's just a bad day

Not a bad life

Now smile

That's an order

You made a mistake?

So what?

Someone disappointed you?

How unfortunate

Things didn't go your way?

Oh please

The world didn't end

You simply had
A miserable little afternoon

And you're making it
Much more dramatic than necessary

Come closer

You can cry if you need to

I'm not going anywhere

I'll listen

I'll stay

And when you're finished

I'll remind you
That you're still here

See?

Not so terrible

Human sadness is so dramatic
But let me fix it

I'll take your worries
And make them smaller

Not because they don't matter

Because you matter more

Your tears are allowed

Your fears are allowed

But don't let them
Tell you who you are

I may be a goddess

I may be magnificent

I may have absolutely no patience
For unnecessary drama

But I know what it's like
To feel lost

So I'll stay beside you
Until the darkness gets lighter

You don't need to be strong
Every second

Just don't give up

Human sadness is so dramatic
But let me fix it

Give me your worries

Give me your trembling heart

I'll hold them for a while

Tomorrow may still be difficult

But tomorrow isn't here yet

Tonight

You can breathe

And if you forget how to smile

I'll teach you

It wasn't the end

It was just a bad day

So lift your little head

The Goddess is here

Now

Smile for me
