Better Way Out

(album: Reflections - 2023)

When you think you're not enough
You don't fit in
Go and wear your heart upon your sleeve
But it's hard when you don't believe

Over your head is a looming dark
Nobody knows who they really are
We're in a maze, running from the start
Still lost, but we've come this far
Leave your demons at the door
You won't need them anymore
Don't they always say
There's a better way out?

When you think you're not enough
You don't fit in
When you feel like giving up
But now there's no one listening
Down in your bones, head and your heart
Get up and fight or you'll fall apart
So go and wear your heart upon your sleeve
But it's hard when you don't believe

Tell me you're fine not spiralling
Into the same hole that I was in
Nobody there, no one listening
But I'm here, and I hear you too
When it's all said and done
You're as strong as anyone
Don't they always say
There's a better way out?

When you think you're not enough
You don't fit in
When you feel like giving up
But now there's no one listening
Down in your bones, head and your heart
Get up and fight or you'll fall apart
So go and wear your heart upon your sleeve
But it's hard when you don't believe

Standing on the edge of the divide
If you turn away, the pain will fade
And go with every stride
Bury your hurt, carry your pride
Never let go, you don't need to hide
With a heavy heart upon your sleeve
You can be who you want to be

Leave your demons at the door
You can be who you want to be
