Dear old self

[Verse 1] Dear old self, please don’t cry I swear you will be alright Even if you can’t see it now Brighter days are coming somehow You’ve been through so much pain But here you stand again Breathing, smiling through the rain You’ll be alright --- [Chorus] You’ll be alright, you’ll be alright Hold on through the darkest night Even when the light feels gone You’ll find where you belong You’ll be alright --- [Verse 2] Dear me, how do I believe again? When the world can be so cruel Each day a new scar, a new bruise, a new wound No one to comfort me when I’m bruised They laugh, they leave when I cry No love, no hope, no reason why So tell me how to trust again And believe in life, my friend --- [Chorus] You’ll be alright, you’ll be alright Hold on through the endless f***t Even when the hope feels thin A new day will begin You’ll be alright --- [Bridge] Thank you for holding on through the storm For not letting me be torn For not making me fear who I am For the comfort, the hope, the friend Thank you for staying near For making me feel home here For the laughter and the light For helping me believe tonight --- [Final Chorus - softer, heartfelt] You’ll be alright, you’ll be alright The dawn will follow every night Even when the path’s unclear I’ll be with you here You’ll be alright, you’ll be alright We will make it through this f***t Thank you for believing still You always will
