Heartbreak is a part of life
 Ain’t that the honest truth
 But don’t let it make you give up on love
 For it is love that keeps our youth.
  
 Don’t you ever settle
 If someone’s not worth settling for
 But neither get too unsettled
 In a belief there’s always more.
  
 Just be with the one who makes your heart tick
 Makes it come alive
 You’ll know it when you see it
 Something just feels different inside.
  
 Speak your damn truth
 Show your damn heart 
 And if it doesn’t damn work
 Make a new start.
  
 If you love them
 Let them know
 If they don’t love you
 Let them go.
  
 Make the brave decisions
 And when they don’t pay off
 Be thankful for the life you’re living
 And accept all risk comes at a cost.
  
 And while it undoubtedly hurts
 Maybe even feels like nothing could hurt worse
 In reality what could possibly hurt worse?
 Than never knowing if your love could of worked?
  
 So speak your damn truth
 Reveal your damn heart
 And win or damn lose
 It’s still the only move that’s smart.
  
 Some say you’ve got to hide your love away
 To hell with that crap
 We’re all going out someday
 But I ain’t going out like that.
  
 Don’t leave room for regrets
 That’s much worse than a cold hard no
 Be brave with your heart
 And you might just save your soul.
  
 So many give up
 Lose themselves in work and other things
 But the heart must remain childlike
 Do whatever makes it sing.
  
 Keep love in your heart 
 And it will come again
 It’s not a matter of if
 I believe it’s just a matter of when.
  
 Never quit on your love
 Until your love quits on you
 And you’ll leave this world good
 No matter what comes through.
  
 I’ll go out looking a fool
 The same way I came in
 With love there is no cool
 And it’s about much more than the win.
  
 So when your love falls apart
 Believe, it will come again
 And if you can still keep love in your heart
 Then you deserve love my friend.
  
 So keep love in your heart
 And speak your damn truth
 And don’t ever quit on your love
 Until your love quits on you.
  
 Speak your damn truth
 Reveal your damn heart
 And win or damn lose
 It’s still the only move that’s smart.
  
 Some say you’ve got to hide your love away
 TO HELL WITH THAT CRAP!
 We’re all going out someday
 DON’T YOU DARE! Go out like that.
