TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For every dog who's ever died

🥃 For times you couldn't cry

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For every Almost Shot

🥃 For every Almost Jump

🥃 For every Almost Wreck

🥃 For every Almost Dead

Never have I ever lived as long as I have now

The problem with living is I don't know how

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For the Boy that lured you home

🥃 For the Girl who ended up alone

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For every skinny bridge you burned

🥃 For every calorie ever earned

TAKE A SHOT

🥃For every relative dead

🥃 For every tear you never shed

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For Ben who touched your back

🥃 For Ben who followed to your flat

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For The One That Got Away

🥃 For every "I love you" that they say

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For the friend that gave you up

🥃 For the friends who want to cut

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For every stomach no longer flat

🥃 For every thought about being fat

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For every spank

🥃 For every pool in which you've sank

TAKE A SHOT

🥃 For every friend you want to kiss

🥃For every audition that you missed

There is a plan for you.

Create a new plan for you.

Discard that which does not matter.

Do not discard yourself.

Your life has matter.

There's a reason you're alive.
