To My Younger Self |
| To my younger self, I’m writing you from 2012 |
| It’s not high school that is killing me, it’s my mental health |
| Know you struggle now but brace yourself for these few years of hell |
| You’ll paint a smile everyday but every night, you’ll pray for help |
| Wish there was something that I could do to save you from what’s coming |
| You might be a soldier, but know that your demons built an army |
| And they’re taking over now, all I see through my tears is black |
| Tell mom and dad I love them, but I have to go, no turning back |
| And I know that your heart is aching |
| I know that you don’t know why |
| And you can’t stop your hands from shaking |
| Now you want to die |
| If I could tell you everything I know now |
| I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out |
| In the end, the light will emerge with no doubt |
| You just gotta keep going, baby, don’t back down |
| If I could tell you everything I know now |
| I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out |
| In the end, the light will emerge with no doubt |
| You just gotta keep going, baby, don’t back down |
| To my younger self, I’m writing you from 2020 |
| You made it through the war and woke up to a new beginning |
| You graduated college, mom and dad are both so proud |
| That you rose up from the ashes; |
| a survivor, you are now |
| How I wish I could write to the girl back in 2012 |
| And send her all the light to find her way without losing herself |
| And show her all the things she’ll miss if she don’t get a second chance |
| Thank God I’m here today to tell you that you’ll make it through the black |
| I know that your heart was aching |
| I know that you put up a fight |
| From making it through all the breaking |
| Now you feel alive |
| If I could tell you everything I know now |
| I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out |
| In the end, the light will emerge with no doubt |
| You just gotta keep going, baby, don’t back down |
| If I could tell you everything I know now |
| I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out |
| In the end, the light will emerge with no doubt |
| You just gotta keep going, baby, don’t back down |
