Cheer Up, It May Never Happen

Cheer up, it may never happen
is what they say
but it already might have
it could be the worst
tears ready to burst

They may see a frown
a sad face
maybe its a forever goodbye
thats made you cry

Maybe it's seeing yourself
ugly and fat
causing hurt over years
had they thought of that

Cheer up, it may never happen
is what they say
how do they know it hasn't
a broken heart
to be apart
love thats lost
to get back at any cost

It maybe something horrible
even traggic
many devastated to see
a horrific event
then its anniversary

Maybe a nightmare
an impossible situation
totally alone
no bed
no home

Cheer up, it may never happen
is what they say
never to them
give a smile
don't say
just walk away
