Better to Have Lived

I got lucky, I must admit

I fell so hard

That I thought my head would split

Thankfully, you dusted me off

And picked me up

Said it's better to feel pain

Than nothing at all

And I don't look back on the situation, wishing for change

Just want to express I'm grateful for the love I gained

'Cause it's better to have lived

It's better to have lived

It's better to have given all of me than never felt a thing

It's better to have lived

Better to have lived

Reach high for the sun up in the sky

And burn my fingertips

I feel unstable

I'm losing sleep

Can't find my wallet

And I'm tripping on my feet

I've been thinking 'bout the moon

In the afternoon

Though the sun keeps shining

Healing takes time

And I don't look back on the situation, wishing for change

Just want to express I'm grateful for the love I gained

'Cause it's better to have lived

It's better to have lived

It's better to have given all of me than never felt a thing

It's better to have lived

It's better to have lived

Reach high for the sun up in the sky

And burn my fingertips

You know it's better to have lived

Better to have lived

And I know one day

This pain will be the soil

That grows my garden

And this life I've lived will be the story

That I tell my children

And one day I'll look into their eyes

With pride and I will tell them

I think it's better to have lived

It's better to have lived

It's better to have given all of me than never felt a thing

It's better to have lived

Better to have lived

Reach high for the sun up in the sky

And burn my fingertips

You know it's better to have lived
