Would’ve Been Better
Would’ve been better
If you hung a milestone
around my neck
And let me drown to the depths
Of the sea
You dragged me through hell and back
I’m all out of whack
But somehow still functioning
Maybe if I told you
How it really was
You would understand me
And all the pain you caused
I am messed up for life
And I often wonder why
It’s me who had to suffer
It’s me who had to cry
I had to feel
All the pain
But now I’m down to nothing
And I have everything to gain
There always comes a rainbow
After a night of heavy rain
It lasted for years
I have shed so many tears
But the dawn is rising
And it’s time to face my fears
I need to get out of the past
And start planning out my future
I know that I can do it
Since I’m tired of the dark here
At the depths of the sea
Lies my misery
And I’m swimming to the top
After everything I’ve been through
I won’t stop until I drop
Going faster
Getting lighter
Fighting for some air
I swim up to the surface
I take a breath up here
My head is above water
I have nothing left to fear
