JayMarrs - Dear Younger Me Lyrics

Dear younger me, I know you're feeling pain
Know you feel the cold steel, takes your breath away
You thinking there's no out, keep going out your way
Just to feel again, yeah, you swear you need an end

And I am only here to tell you that you're loved
That person in the mirror only shows what you can touch
You wanna tell somebody but you don't know who to trust
And plus what if you tell them and instead they choose to judge

(No, no) So you hide up in your room and write songs 'til you sleeping
Hated school 'cause you would get beat up you was different
Hated home 'cause no one understood what you was dreaming
Hated to pretend, but it was better than believing

But what if I say it gets better (it does)
Would you believe that it does? (really?)
That's why I'm still writing this letter, letter, letter (uh)
What if I say it gets better (it does)
Would you believe that it does

Please
I need you
(Uh) Dear younger me, life is pretty good
The music's taking off, exactly as it should
Who would've thought that all the songs we wrote were any good
I mean it took some time, but I always knew we could

And now I'm sitting here, I'm smiling with my family
Oh yeah you married now (man) did I mention happily? (Aye)
You got a baby girl, can't wait for y'all to meet
Aye she gone be your world, make you believe in Jesus

Need to apologize, I didn't think of you
When I gave up my happiness to make their dreams come true
But all the ones who took advantage and kept doubting you
They gonna call you back years later, apologize to you

And that's your time to shine, please learn to say goodbye
'Cause there's some people that you really don't need in your life
Don't let them feed you lies, just learn to step aside
And when that drama's at your door don't let that wretch inside

Keep all your promises, and always stay honest
And most importantly always kill them with kindness and
Just trust in God, just know he's on it
Believe in Love (man) or you won't find it

I promise time will heal, I know it hurts today
He did some things to you, I know it hurts to say
But I can promise you, that you will stand in faith
And you will take your dreams, don't let our hope just fade

But what if I say it gets better
Would you believe that it does?
That's why I'm still writing this letter, letter, letter
What if I say it gets better
Would you believe that it does
