lyrics

I don't need to be seen in my current state
That's why I've tried to stay the hell away
From everyone I know and love
So they won't have to see me this fucked up

I try and I try again, to put a stop to all of this
It's so childish and meaningless, but I just can't seem to get past it
The mindset that I'll never be, the person that I want you to see
I'm not out to impress, I just want to live and let go

I've built this life on a foundation
Of late nights and over thinking
If I could turn back time tonight
Then maybe I would be alright

But you can't change the past, you can only move forward and hope that you
Have the strength to carry on, and make better decisions than when we were young
So let's make the best of these next few years, and learn to thrive on happiness
Because the world is still a cold dark place, but we don't have to stay that way forever

I try and I try again, but I just can't seem to win
It's one step forward and two steps back, with the weight of the world resting on my back
Growing up, I always thought I'd be, a bigger contribution to society
But I don't blame anybody else, it's my own damn fault that I'm such a mess

Tonight I am making amends
I swear to God I'll be happy again

But you can't change the past, you can only move forward and hope that you
Have the strength to carry on, and make better decisions than when we were young
So let's make the best of these next few years, and learn to thrive on happiness
Because the world is still a cold dark place, but we don't have to stay that way forever

I've got a lot out to get me
Ghosts that no one will ever see
I'm getting better every single day
To Hell with anyone who stands in my way
