Lyrics Possible Meaning[Verse]

Today, you don't want to get out of bed.There are so many thoughts in your head.

Like you'd be better off dead, better off dead

But let me tell you,There's a whole world waiting for you.

It's hard to believe but it's true, whoa ohSo just hold on for me, hold on for me.

This is describing a person (unspecified) who doesn’t really think very much of themselves or their life. Straight away, you can tell that they are depressed.The singer is talking directly to the person in question, telling them to keep holding on, if only for her.

[Pre-Chorus]'Cause I believe if you go,

My heart would break, just hold on one more day.

They are repeating the point that they would be upset if the person did anything drastic, such as suicide, or hurt themselves.

[Chorus]Because you are so beautiful, whoa oh,I promise you this, I promise you this

And you are more than capable, whoa ohJust believe in yourself when nobody else is

listening

This is just the singer saying that she promises that the person in question is beautiful, and for them to believe in themselves.

[Verse 2]And I may not even know your name,But I promise you I've felt the same.As you do right now, you'll make it

somehowAnd even if you feel as though you have no

friendsExcept the blade that cuts your skin

You're better than this, you're worth more than this

In this we find out that the singer has been through depression, or some sort of mental illness, as they say that they’ve felt the same, despite not even knowing the other person’s name.

[Pre-Chorus]And I believe if you go my heart would

breakJust hold on one more day.

[Chorus]Because you are so beautiful, whoa ohI promise you this, I promise you this.

And you are more than capable, whoa ohJust believe in yourself when nobody else is

listening.

Again, It’s almost as if the singer is punctuating how important it is that the person is beautiful, and just as capable as everyone else.

[Bridge]And If you go I think my heart would breakAnd if you go I think my heart would break

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yea...

During this part, the drums kick in , and It’s almost as if there’s been some sort of breakthrough.

[Final Verse]Because you are so beautiful, whoa ohI promise you this, I promise you this.

I promise that you are so beautiful, whoa ohI promise you this, I promise you this

And you are more than capable, whoa ohJust believe in yourself when nobody else is

listening,You are so beautiful whoa oh

I promise you this, I promise you thisAnd you are more than capable, whoa oh

This is the last repeat of the chorus, and is just a repeat of what they were saying beforehand.

Just believe in yourself when nobody else is listening.
