I'm Better

(album: Ventura Boulevard - 2019)

I've been turning the pages
I've been practicing patience
I finally learned what pain was
In 2016
My mom got remarried
I learned to love my new family
My dad even turned 61
But he still believes in love

I think I finally know the difference
Between hiding between living
Between pain and reminiscing
I learned to have forgiveness
When I lost all of my best friends
To some sick impure intentions
I still wish them all the best
I guess that everyone's a lesson

And I could say
The worst days are over
But forever's a long time away
And I could say
The worst days are over
But at least I made it to today
And oh
I'm better
Oh
I'm better
But forever's a long time away

I've been seeing new places
Finding love in new faces
I even met somebody who
I don't feel scared to love
My sister got into college
She's even working a job
Seems like everybody is growing up
And finding out what they want

And sometimes I feel guilty
That the time goes by so quickly
That my life got so damn busy
Everything just feels so different

And I could say
The worst days are over
But forever's a long time away
And I could say
The worst days are over
But at least I made it to today
And oh
I'm better
Oh
I'm better
But forever's a long time away

And time moves so fast
Sometimes it scares me now
But you're with me forever
I know you'll never leave me alone
'Cause right now the love I have
Ain't nothing like the past
You're with me forever
For
For worse or better

And I could say
The worst days are over
But forever's a long time away
And I could say
The worst days are over
But at least I made it to today
And oh
I'm better
Oh
I'm better
But forever's a long time away
