Cast a shadow, I have grown

Day by day, I know it all gets better

Gets better

Brick by brick to build me up

Day by day, I know it all gets better

Gets better

Mental health rooted deep in my family tree

We planted seeds in a toxic society

I break my bones, I get rushed to the doctor's

If I break my mind, I hide that shit inside my hurt locker

Become the best actor

I know gender's a factor

We say we ain't affected

Until our mind's infected

Until my sister and my brother-in-law

Be sleeping on my floor

'Cause there's no way to be sure

If I'm gon' make it through the night

Out like a light

I don't know if I'm alright

Suicide on my mind

All the time, Jesus Christ

They check my drawers for knives

I ain't got the tools to go and make it through this life

Through this strife

She hold my hand and told me it's gon' be okay

She took me to the doctors, told me not to be afraid

Sitting in waiting rooms without any room to wait

I don't know if I'm gon' make another day

Cast a shadow, I have grown

Day by day, I know it all gets better

Gets better

Brick by brick to build me up

Day by day, I know it all gets better

Gets better

It all gets better

Gets better

It all gets better

Gets better

I would man up and be okay

But I ain't gon' make another day

I'm sitting in front of therapists, not knowing what to say

Accepting that I'm weak is really what made me brave

I won't ever beat this shit, no way it can be defeated

You don't wake up without it

You just learn to live with it

You just learn a different way to process things up in your brain

It ain't really that simple

Progress reduces pain

Some days I didn't think I'd make it through

Running 'round without a clue

Stuck in sorrow like it's glue

It get's better, where's the proof?

Hard to recognise change

When you are you every day

Every day becomes mundane

Looking back, I know that I been making strides

Every day it's an accomplishment I'm still alive

So today I celebrate the pain we overcame

I know it's not gone, but we still remain

Cast a shadow, I have grown

Day by day, I know it all gets better

Gets better

Brick by brick to build me up

Day by day, I know it all gets better

Gets better

It all gets better

Gets better

It all gets better

Gets better

Better (Better, better)

Better (Better, better)

Better (Better, better)

Better (Better, better)
