be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

you know

i haven't always been this optimistic

and up to now there's nothing in this life i've lost and missed it

i know it all happens for reasons that i've never listed

and i've just learned to be okay with shit and then dismiss it

i type

type then delete every time

i wanna tell my story

but i wanna tell it right

you know i carry scars

wanna leave 'em all behind

but it's time to bust it open and go back to every time

every time i said this is the ending

no more pretending

i'm done depending

say sorry to loved ones

this heart just ain't mending

but this shit ain't over

it's just the beginning

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

you say you got it but you really don't

you say you will but lord knows you really won't

you say you wonder what it's like to feel the happiness

wake up every morning and don't wanna go back to bed

i know a lost soul when i see it

i know you lost hope i can read you girl

i hear it

i know you hear my words they carry memories

i feel it

i know you hate the past but let me take you back to

every time you said this is the ending

no more pretending

you're done depending

say sorry to loved ones

you're heart just ain't mending

but this shit ain't over

it's just the beginning

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

we gon' be alright

i look into my soul

i look into my reflection

and looking out at you i look at my impression

i'm looking at my life

i'm looking at my blessings

i'm looking at my past

looking at my lessons

i'm looking at compassion

i'm looking at aggression

when i look at the world

i look for my direction

i'm letting go of scars

letting go of tension

moving on from mistakes and calling 'em confessions

you know

like

life is just too short to be literally anything but happy

i know sometimes it seems hard but

it's never over

just follow your fucking heart

this is the center of expression

thank you
