Just because

Just because I have the money
Doesn’t mean I should buy it

Just because I finally have all the pieces
That like a puzzle they will fit

Just because someone’s there
Doesn’t mean they want to be friends

Just because I didn’t like the start
Doesn’t mean I’ll hate the end

Just because I feel something
Doesn’t mean I should share

Just because I know how to write
Doesn’t mean I have the right to think anybody cares

Just because something crosses my path
Doesn’t mean it’s worth chasing

Just because you like my voice
Doesn’t mean I should always be singing

Just because you brush it off
Doesn’t mean I can too

Just because I wrote it down
Doesn’t mean you really knew

Just because the sun sets
That the sun also rises

Just because I know the world enough
Doesn’t mean I can predict all the surprises

Just because I’m older
Doesn’t mean I like to meet challenges head-on

Just because I’m no longer a child
Doesn’t mean I’ll always feel like I belong

Just because I ask questions
Doesn’t mean I ask the right ones

Just because I offer answers
Doesn’t mean we’re all said and done

Just because I’ve done all I can
Doesn’t mean I’m ready to walk away

Just because I’m slow to move
Doesn’t mean I’ll forever stay

Just because I did it
Is not a reason why

And just because I am afraid of the consequences
Doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try
