Cheers to our lone hearts,
Hearts that bleed without ceasing Hearts that weep without control
Hearts that are broken beyond repair.

Cheers those that are silently dying,
To our voices that are muted in the crowd,
To our songs with scattered rhythm,
To our sad selves, to our pained selves.

Just because we smile doesn't mean we are happy,
Just because we are silent,
Doesn't mean we don't wanna talk,
Just because we shut the door doesn't mean you can't come in,
Cheers to our complicated selves.

If you care, open your eyes to our problem,
We are hurt on the inside not physically,
We tape our mouths and tie our hands,
Yet on the inside we scream in pain.

Glasses up to our broken selves,
One sip to those who has experienced grave pain,
A mouthful for those who has felt numb,
One shot for those who has a smile on through it all.

Hurray to those extroverts who bottle in their pain,
To introverts who keep silent about their sorrow,
To us that are everything but fine,
To everyone out there who understands.

Hurray to us that are choked up to speak,
To us that are devoid of tears,
To us that live by and for ourselves,
Cheers to our lone hearts.
