I tried a thousand times to tell you, but I couldn't get the words out

If only you knew what I know now

You've got something to be proud of

I wanted to help you

But it's something that you're gonna have to go through

I tried a thousand times to tell you

That I'm your future self

And I'm happier

That I'm your future self

And it gets easier

It gets better

I know you tried so hard to blend in with the crowd that hurts you

You'll find the people who will stick around

The people who deserve you

And you'll make peace with every flaw and tiny imperfection

You'll pick yourself up off the floor and start again

I'm your future self

And I'm happier

Oh, I'm your future self

And it gets easier

It gets better, it gets better, it gets better
