--LYRICS--
Honestly
What's worth trading yourself
For something you're not
Quite frankly
Just because you are strong
Doesn't mean you don't need a lot

If you ever feel stuck
And you don't know what to do
If you ever feel broken
Count on me to bring the glue

Life's pretty long
It's the longest we'd live
Why are we grabbing at needles
Why don't we stand up and give
Don't stay down
And don't look back
Cause it'll only be as useful as
A little damp match

Listen up
I know that people tell you
"Save your heart"
Cause love means one for another
So if it's getting tougher for you
At least you know it's working
Though the beating keeps you living
Love keeps you alive

I'll side whoever needs a friend
Or someone to get by
Cause nobody is a waste of space
If they were I would rather die

Life's pretty long
It's the longest we'd live
Why are we grabbing at needles
Why don't we stand up and give
Don't stay down
And don't look back
Cause it'll only be as useful as
A little damp match

Do not ever think
You're useless
Maybe when pacifists cry war
Dying fire
Could be relit
So what are you waiting for

Never in my life
Have I met someone unimportant
What makes you think you are?

Life's pretty long
It's the longest we'd live
Why are we grabbing at needles
Why don't we stand up and give
Don't stay down
And don't look back
Cause it'll only be as useful as
A little damp match

Tell you what
Just listen
You're a child of stars
Honestly
Quite frankly
Your love is who you are
