Better Tomorrows
By The Lyricist
Sometimes when I'm lonely,
I get depressed,
And sometimes
I'm just feeling kind of stressed,
And I drink away my sorrows,
And hope for better tomorrows,
And I don't know
What I'm s'posed to say.
I go through all this pain;
Don't know what's left to gain.
That don't matter,
I'm gonna be okay.
...
Man I've walked a lonely road,
Carryin' this heavy load,
Where all eyes are now on me,
It's the burden that will set me free.
So many good things to do,
Trying to help people who
Have their backs against the wall;
Gotta pick 'em up before they fall,
But it causes so much stress,
Why does it feel my life's a mess?
So much struggle, so much pain,
It makes me feel like I'm insane.
There is nowhere left to hide,
So many nights I have cried.
Never got a helping hand,
Always feel like nothing, and
...
Sometimes I need stitches
To mend my broken heart,
But sometimes,
I don't know where to start,
And I drink away my sorrows,
And hope for better tomorrows,
And I don't know
What I'm s'posed to say.
I go through all this pain;
Don't know what's left to gain.
That don't matter,
I'm gonna be okay.
...
Been by myself all these years,
Trying to hide all these tears,
Yet still, on a daily basis,
I'm reminded that I can't face this
Alone and/or by myself
I know that no kind of wealth
Could ever break my sadness.
I'm done with all this madness.
I've always wanted to be
Someone else, but never me.
The thing that made it the worst,
I felt like I was a curse.
Anyway, today's not that bad,
I don't want any of that
To turn me into a nut.
I'm trying to help people, but
...
Sometimes I lose all sight
Of what's right in front of me,
And I don't know
What I'm s'posed to see,
And I drink away my sorrows,
And hope for better tomorrows,
And I don't know
What I'm s'posed to say.
I go through all this pain;
Don't know what's left to gain.
That don't matter,
I'm gonna be okay.
My heart is constricted,
My soul has evicted,
And I don't know what else to do.
My brain has exploded,
Emotions corroded,
I think it's time to renew.
...
You know what?
I never thought I'd make the cut,
But look at me now,
How far I've come and how.
I'm so thankful for all I'm given.
You've made my life worth livin'.
Even though I've lived a hard life,
Been stabbed in the back with a knife,
In the end, it made me stronger,
I live in regret no longer.
Even though some people are mean,
And some are very obscene,
I've seen the beautiful light,
And I know what's truly right.
So you can try and put me down,
But I promise I won't frown.
You can go and try to diss me,
But in the end, you'll miss me.
...
Sometimes I just sit down,
And take a look at my past,
And I realize,
Man, it went by fast.
Goodbye drinkin' away my sorrows,
I'm gettin' better tomorrows,
And I know exactly what to say.
I've gotten rid of the pain,
There's so much left I can gain.
All I know is, I'm gonna be okay.
All I know is, I'm gonna be okay.
