about

I decided to try the optimistic route after reading a newspaper

lyrics

Is it this certain time of my life
Or is it the same for everyone
Regardless of age and ignoring the fact that we all walk on different roads
I can feel a change
Did I find another part of my heart
I never knew was there
Either way I can’t go back
It’s part of me
I’ve been made aware
I found out young that The world wasn’t made just for me
But now I see
I can’t just let it be
To keep the darkness from running free
I have to be
A better version of me

I’m goin to California
Is what said
Until I read that problems there are the same as here
It’s hard to know, exactly where I’m supposed to go
But I can feel it grow
Did I shed my skin along the way
Was it an even trade
Knowledge for the innocence I gave
My eyes are open and I can see
found out young that The world wasn’t made just for me
But now I see
I can’t just let it be
To keep the darkness from running free
I have to be
A better version of me

There’s no turning back
I can’t unlearn the the things I’ve come to realize
Searching for a truth
And now every day my soul
Is always full
I can feel the pull
Did I find another part of my heart
I never knew was there
Either way I can’t go back
It’s part of me
I’ve been made aware
I found out young that The world wasn’t made just for me
But now I see
I can’t just let it be
To keep the darkness from running free
I have to be
A better version of me
