I'm Glad I Stayed

I didn’t think I’d make it past thirteen

I was so scared of growing up

Didn’t think I could handle the pressure

I felt like enough was enough

So I made a plan but I never

Went through with it at the time

And I’m glad I didn’t cause look at everything I’ve done

And the decade that’s flown by

I’m glad to be alive

I’m glad that I survived

Cause when I look at my life

It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright

And I know dark days will come, but I’m not afraid

‘Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed

I didn’t think that I’d make it past sixteen

I was in love with someone who did everything he could to break me

And I couldn’t escape so I thought maybe this is the end

But thank god it wasn’t cause look at the future I had ahead

I’m glad to be alive

I’m glad that I survived

Cause when I look at my life

It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright

And I know dark days will come, but I’m not afraid

Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed

I never thought I would actually be happy

I was so consumed by my own suffering

So if you hear this, I hope you keep pressing on

Just roll down the windows and turn on this song and sing along

I’m glad to be alive

I’m glad that I survived

Cause when I look at my life

It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright

I’m glad to be alive

I’m glad that I survived

Cause when I look at my life

It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright

And I know that the dark days will come, but I’m not afraid

Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed

I’m glad I stayed

I’m glad I stayed
