who you'll be

Everyone knows
That nobody knows where we're going
But everyone goes all the same
And it's cold and convoluted
It's aching and abuse but
We just have to hope that we're on the way

And on the lows
'Cause without them the highs would mean nothing
And we think there's no other way
In the deepest of the darks
In the brokenness of hearts
Wherever you go is a better place

And i promise i swear it gets better
Who you hate now is not who you'll be
No, the heartache can't hold on forever
If you just wait then one day you'll see

We're never whole
For as long as we're just holding on
We have to know if we stay alive we can live
That air filling your lungs
Doesn't have to be enough
Please know that you won't always feel like you barely exist.

And i promise i swear it gets better
Who you hate now is not who you'll be
No, the heartache can't hold on forever
If you just wait i'll promise you'll see

In the nothing, in the numb
When you're feeling good as gone
It's a war just to wake up
When you can't see that you're strong
When it's all been torn apart
I am begging you hold on

Please just stay
Please don't take my life away

And i promise i swear it gets better
Who you hate now is not who you'll be
I am going to be here forever
You can't lose it all you'll always have me
