Lyrics
There are five rules
Not to be perfect
Not to be rich
Not to be someone else
Just… to be free
Rule one - don’t chase every shadow
Some roads don’t lead you home
Rule two - don’t measure your heartbeat
By numbers carved in stone
I burned time trying to be someone
The world said I should be
But silence told me different
When I finally listened to me
If it breaks you - let it teach you
If it hurts you - let it go
Every scar is just direction
To the life you’re meant to know
Five rules to a happy life
Breathe deep, let go, don’t fight
Love hard, stand tall, be kind
Lose fear, trust time
Five rules to a happy life
Don’t trade your soul for the night
When the noise gets too loud inside
Close your eyes - choose light
Five rules… rules… rules…
Happy life… life… life…
Rule three - forgive your past self
You did the best you knew
Rule four - choose who stands beside you
Not just who stands with you
Rule five - remember this moment
Nothing here will stay
So hold the ones that matter
Before they fade away
If you’re lost now - you’re still moving
If you fall down - you still grow
Every ending writes the reason
For the life you’ll one day know
Five rules to a happy life
Breathe deep, let go, don’t fight
Love hard, stand tall, be kind
Lose fear, trust time
Five rules to a happy life
Don’t trade your soul for the night
When the noise gets too loud inside
Close your eyes - choose light
You don’t need permission
You don’t need to be ready
You don’t need to be perfect
Just… keep going
Five rules to a happy life
Breathe deep, let go, don’t fight
Love hard, stand tall, be kind
Lose fear, trust time
Five rules to a happy life
Even when you lose the fight
Every dark will end in light
If you stay alive inside
Five rules…
Just stay alive inside…
