[Verse 1] 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
[Pre-Chorus] 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
[Chorus] If I could tell you everything I know now I'd tell you that the darkness always fadеs out In the end, the light will еmerge 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
[Verse 2] 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
[Pre-Chorus] 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
[Chorus] 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 downTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
