Had to open my eyes, to see what was there
Beyond the flames and foggy air
For the rest of my life, I won’t live in fear
And I thank my friends I made it here
Come and see through my eyes, the future is bright
But that don’t mean that it’s always clear
I’ve been hopeless before, I’m up off the floor
And grateful to see another year

I was so sick of being told that it’d get better soon
Didn’t wanna face the world but came to hate my room
Kept my hеadphones on with sad songs on loop
But even ocеans were not big enough for my gloom
I don’t like you, I got my head straight
But I don’t spite you, you’re just a headache
I’m seeing clear now, and man it feels great
Yeah there’s no mistaking that i had to change
I got some pills, uh
Coffee for the chills, uh
Storm clouds parted baby I could see the hills now
I learned to feel, just enough to deal
Coolest thing I ever did was keep it real

Had to open my eyes, to see what was there
Beyond the flames and foggy air
For the rest of my life, I won’t live in fear
And I thank my friends I made it here
Come and see through my eyes, the future is bright
But that don’t mean that it’s always clear
I’ve been hopeless before, I’m up off the floor
And grateful to see another year

It wasn’t luck that got me here to where I am (Mm)
And you mistook the things I did for who I am (Mmm)
When I was down you never tried to take my hand (No)
So don’t you try to tell me that you understand (Mm)
If you went back and you told me at seventeen
I’d be okay I’d probably cry out in relief
Ain’t got it figured just a little less naive
And I know future me is living out his dreams
Cause you get what you believe
I got some pills, uh
Coffee for the chills, uh
Storm clouds parted baby I could see the hills now
I learned to feel, just enough to deal
Coolest thing I ever did was keep it real

Had to open my eyes, to see what was there
Beyond the flames and foggy air
For the rest of my life, I won’t live in fear
And I thank my friends I made it here
Come and see through my eyes, the future is bright
But that don’t mean that it’s always clear
I’ve been hopeless before, I’m up off the floor
