lyrics

This part of my life is about achieving everything I set out to achieve
I know, that at times I have felt like I could be influenced far too easily.
All the years I spent looking for happiness, and a group to belong too
It all means nothing and now I'm a shadow of the man I used to be
But I have found, such things.

Positivity, in my life has been outweighed by sadness but is slowly, growing.
And this was the main thing I set out to achieve

I have found a positive state for the first time in my life
I'm proud of myself and the fact that I can say that
I'm content with everything I've done this year, things are staying bright in summertime
And for once, the future in my eyes, is looking just fine.

Thank you, thank you whoever has helped me
Even at my worst I remember the ones who made me who I am
Who made me a better man.

When I am beaten by my mind I remember the things that I have seen
I have every right to be sad but why should I let that be?

Why should I let that be?

I have every right to feel like this, and I'll do that if I want to.
But why should I plague my waking hours with constant sadness.
When I'm better than this, I'm better than this,

Should I waste away, forget my dreams and die
Or should I make a life of them?
I know if I hold on and stay in this positive state
My life won't be forgotten

You're better than this, I'm better than this
We're better than this.
