I'm Better

I've been turning the pages
I've been practicing patience
I finally learned what pain was in 2016
My mom got remarried

I learned to love a new family
My day even turned 61 but he still believes in love
Think I finally know the difference
Between hiding, between living
Between pain and reminiscing

I learned to have forgiveness
When I lost all of my best friends
To some sick, impure intentions
I still wish them all the best
I guess that everyone's a lesson

And I could say my worst days are over
But forever's a long time away
And I could say my worst days are over
Oh, but at least I made it to today
And oh, I'm better, oh
I'm better, oh
Forever's a long time away

I've been seeing new places
Finding love in new faces
I even met somebody who I don't feel scared to love
My sister got into college
She's even working a job
Seems like everybody is growing up

And finding out what they want
And sometimes I feel guilty
That the time goes by so quickly
That my life got so damn busy
Everything just feels so different

And I could say my worst days are over
But forever's a long time away
And I could say my worst days are over
Oh, but at least I made it to today
And oh, I'm better, oh
I'm better, oh
Forever's a long time away

And time moves so fast
Sometimes it scares me now
But you're with me forever
I know you'll never leave me alone
'Cause right now, the love I have
It ain't nothing like the past
You're with me forever
For, for worse or better

And I could say my worst days are over
But forever's a long time away
And I could say my worst days are over
Oh, but at least I made it to today
And oh, I'm better, oh
I'm better, oh
Forever's a long time away
