**BRIGHTER DAYS**

**[Intro]**
Yeah
I been lost inside my head for days
Tryna find a road out of this maze
Rain keep fallin’, but I know it change
I keep tellin’ myself, brighter days
**[Verse 1]**
Woke up with the weight of the world on me
Old scars still hurt, but they don’t control me
Used to let the dark nights swallow me slowly
Now I’m lookin’ for the light like somebody showed me
Heart broke twice, I survived that pain
Lost some people, I still say their names
I was standin’ in the storm, soaked in the rain
Tryna smile through the hurt while I’m goin’ insane
Everybody say, “Keep your head up high”
But they never see the tears when I’m up all night
Had a couple bad thoughts, had to let those die
‘Cause I know there’s more to life on the other side
I been runnin’ from myself, got tired of the chase
Had to look into the mirror, put truth in my face
I ain’t perfect, I got demons I’m learnin’ to face
But every day that I wake is another chance to change
**[Chorus]**
I know brighter days are comin’
Even when my heart feels numb
I been walkin’ through the darkness
Still believe I’ll see the sun
If the rain keeps pourin’ on me
I’ma dance inside the flood
I got scars across my story
But they show me what I’ve done
Brighter days, brighter days
I can feel ‘em on the way
I survived my yesterday
I won’t throw my life away
Brighter days, brighter days
Even if it takes some faith
I been fightin’ through the gray
Just to see those brighter days
**[Verse 2]**
Used to call my phone, say you’d never disappear
Now your name on my screen is somethin’ I don’t wanna hear
Crazy how the ones you love can turn into your fears
Crazy how a broken heart can take away a year
But I’m done countin’ losses like they’re all I ever had
Done lookin’ at the future through the pieces of my past
I was speedin’ down a road that was movin’ way too fast
Had to hit the brakes before the moment was my last
Now I’m takin’ every sunrise like a second chance
Learnin’ how to love myself, I never had a plan
Used to think I needed somebody just to understand
Now I know I gotta stand even when nobody can
Mama told me, “Storms don’t stay forever”
So I stitched my broken heart back together
Cold nights made me strong under pressure
Now when life gets heavy, I carry it better
Still got memories cuttin’ deep sometimes
Still got people on my mind I can’t rewind
But I’m done lettin’ old pain steal new time
I got too much life ahead to stay behind
**[Chorus]**
I know brighter days are comin’
Even when my heart feels numb
I been walkin’ through the darkness
Still believe I’ll see the sun
If the rain keeps pourin’ on me
I’ma dance inside the flood
I got scars across my story
But they show me what I’ve done
Brighter days, brighter days
I can feel ‘em on the way
I survived my yesterday
I won’t throw my life away
Brighter days, brighter days
Even if it takes some faith
I been fightin’ through the gray
Just to see those brighter days
**[Bridge]**
Maybe all this pain had a purpose
Maybe I was lost just to find where home is
Maybe every tear on the surface
Was proof that my heart kept workin’
I don’t need the whole world to change tonight
Just one little reason to believe I’ll be alright
One little spark when I’m losin’ sight
One more morning, one more fight
**[Verse 3]**
Now I’m lookin’ at the sky like it’s finally clear
All the things I used to run from, I can finally hear
My own voice tellin’ me, “You still belong here”
That alone hit harder than a thousand cheers
I been down, I been broke, I been empty inside
Had a smile on my face with a storm in my eyes
But the version of me that was ready to hide
Finally learned there’s strength in stayin’ alive
I want peace, not revenge, I want love, not war
I don’t wanna keep knockin’ on a locked-up door
If somebody walks away, I won’t beg anymore
I know what I bring, I know what I’m worth
Took a long time just to say that loud
Used to hate myself, now I’m makin’ me proud
Still got cloudy days, but I’m breakin’ through clouds
And the sun look different when you make it out
So if tomorrow gets hard, I’ll remember today
How I turned all the hurt into somethin’ to say
How I walked through the fire and I still found a way
How the darkest nights led to brighter days
**[Final Chorus]**
I know brighter days are comin’
Even when my heart feels numb
I been walkin’ through the darkness
Still believe I’ll see the sun
If the rain keeps pourin’ on me
I’ma dance inside the flood
I got scars across my story
But they show me what I’ve done
Brighter days, brighter days
I can feel ‘em on the way
I survived my yesterday
I won’t throw my life away
Brighter days, brighter days
Even if it takes some faith
I been fightin’ through the gray
Now I see those brighter days
**[Outro]**
Brighter days
Yeah, they’re comin’ my way
I made it through the rain
I made it through the pain
Brighter days
I got reasons to stay
Yesterday tried to break me
But I’m still here today
