(Verse 1)

Don't be afraid
This is what will help you
Do what you hate
To make what you wanted

Cut, slim, and fake
But you're what you long to be
Push through the ache
It's what they do

So why don't you?

(Chorus 1)

Why be yourself
If that's what no one likes?
Why show the inside
Since they criticize?

Why not change the out
Just to make you them?
Why not hurt the others
Just to make your own pain end?

(Verse 2)

Take all you need
To make you forget it all
Fill your body
With imperfections that make perfect

Try to show me
That what you're doing isn't hurting you
Or fall on your knees
And give your heart for all to see

So why don't you?

(Chorus 2)

You tear down the rest
Who are what you used to be
You do it thinking, how dare
They be so happy?

You were there and hated it,
But do you like you now?
The very thing that ripped you up
Is now coming from your mouth

(Bridge)

There are tons of people in this world who care about you

So why don't you?

Why don't you?

Why don't you?

(Chorus 3)

There is someone who knows you more
Than anyone before
There is one who hurts with you
It's you who He adores

He knows your heart, your mind, your soul
And all that no one else sees
He's there waiting for you
His name is Jesus, I've let Him save me

So why don't you?

So why don't you?

So why don't you?

So why don't you?

Again, I was inspired. God inspired me. :D

I also made music for this on the piano. It's in B minor, but that's all I really know haha.
