I'm Better

I've been turning the pages

I've been practicing patience

I finally learned what pain was

In 2016

My mom got remarried

I learned to love my new family

My dad even turned sixty-one

But he still believes in love

Think I finally know the difference

Between hiding between living

Between pain and reminiscing

I learned to have forgiveness

When I lost all of my best friends

To some sick, impure intentions

I still wish them all the best

I guess that everyone's a lesson

And I could say my worst days are over

But forever's a long time away

And I could say my worst days are over

Oh but at least I made it to today

And oh I'm better oh

I'm better oh

Forever's a long time away

I've been seeing new places

Finding love in new faces

I even met somebody who

I don't feel scared to love

My sister got into college

She's even working a job

Seems like everybody is growing up

And finding out what they want

And sometimes I feel guilty

That the time goes by so quickly

That my life got so damn busy

Everything just feels so different

And I could say my worst days are over

Oh but forever's a long time away

And I could say my worst days are over

Oh but at least I made it to today

And oh I'm better oh

I'm better oh

Forever's a long time away

And time moves so fast

Sometimes it scares me now

But you're with me forever

I know you'll never leave me alone

'Cause right now the love I have

It ain't nothing like the past

You're with me forever

For, for worse or better

And I could say my worst days are over

But forever's a long time away

I could say my worst days are over

Oh but at least I made it to today

And oh I'm better oh

I'm better oh

Forever's a long time away
