anthem

i heard this song today and started to cry. it just spoke to me. i've probably heard it a hundred times in the past week [thank you pop country radio for repeating songs somewhat annoyingly], but didn't ever listen. i am pretty sure it is about some girl losing a love, but the song translates to my life a bit differently. even when everything seems messy, a lot wrong, a little bit tough, it'll be alright. it really will.

little miss down on love. little miss i give up.
little miss i'll get tough, don't you worry about me anymore.
little miss checkered dress. one big mess. i'll take less when i always give so much more.
it's alright. sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win. it's alright. it'll be alright again. it'll be alright again. i'm okay.
little miss do your best. little miss never rest.
little miss be my guest, i'll make more anytime that it runs out.
little miss you'll go far. hide your scars. who you are is so much more than you like to talk about.
it's alright. sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win. it's alright. it'll be alright again. it'll be alright again. i'm okay.
hold on. hold on. you are loved. are loved.

little miss brand new start. do your part. big 'ole heart beats wide open and she's ready now for love.
it's alright. sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win. it's alright. it'll be alright again. it'll be alright again. i'm okay.

i'm okay.
