Brighter Than Yesterday

[Intro]

 

Verse 1

Another sleepless night, staring at the ceiling fan,

Counting every mistake I've ever made again.

The ghosts of old decisions whisper through the dark,

Leaving scars across my mind and fingerprints on my heart.

I tried to run away, but they followed every mile,

Every broken promise, every fake and forced smile.

The weight upon my shoulders kept dragging me below,

And I forgot the person I used to know.

 

Pre-Chorus

I was drowning in the echoes of what I couldn't change,

Living in the wreckage, trapped inside the pain.

 

Chorus

Too many regrets, too many roads I burned,

Too many lessons learned the hard way in return.

I lost myself trying to outrun yesterday,

But the sun kept rising anyway.

Now every scar's a reminder I survived the fight,

Every tear I cried became a guiding light.

I was broken, but I'm stronger than I knew,

The darkest nights can lead to something new.

 

Verse 2

I spent years looking backward through a shattered frame,

Blaming every storm and calling out my name.

But healing isn't instant, and closure takes its time,

Sometimes you have to lose yourself to finally find.

The mirror tells a story that the old me couldn't read,

Of a man who's still standing despite everything he sees.

The road ahead is open, and though it's hard to trust,

I'm learning how to build from all the dust.

 

Pre-Chorus

The chains I wore for years are finally growing weak,

And hope is finding words when I can barely speak.

 

Chorus

Too many regrets, too many roads I burned,

Too many lessons learned the hard way in return.

I lost myself trying to outrun yesterday,

But the sun kept rising anyway.

Now every scar's a reminder I survived the fight,

Every tear I cried became a guiding light.

I was broken, but I'm stronger than I knew,

The darkest nights can lead to something new.

 

BridgeMaybe I was never meant to stay the same,

Maybe every heartbreak helped me find my way.

The past still lives inside me, but it doesn't own my soul,

I'm finally letting go.

Final Chorus

Too many regrets, but they don't define my name,

Too many wrong turns that led me here today.

I found myself standing where I thought I'd fall,

And now the future doesn't scare me at all.

Every scar's a reminder I survived the fight,

Every dawn's a promise after every night.

I was lost, but now I finally see the truth,

The brightest future starts when you make it through.The shadows fade away,

The weight begins to m

ove,

I lost myself for a while...

But I found a brighter view.
