If you write about love,

They might say that you're in love. 
And if you write about heartbreak, 
They might say that you're heartbroken.

If you write about happiness, 
They might wonder why you're happy.

And if you write about sadness, 
They might pretend like they didn't read it. 
If you write about loss, 
They might pity you. 
And if you speak the truth, 
They might criticize you. 
But don't you ever let what people think stop you from expressing yourself.

So, let it be that you're in love. 
Haven't they been? 
Let it be that you've been heartbroken. 
Who's not?

Let it be that you're happy or sad. 
Isn't it normal? 
Let it be that you've lost. 
We've all lost.
Let your soul
Shine through your words.
