Do It Better
Rising from Shadows: Mastering Life's Symphony
Lyrics
I tried to make it right
I attempted to correct a situation or relationship.
And rid myself from their hatred and lack of spine
I tried to distance myself from their dislike and lack of courage.
And rid myself of the emotions I can't hide
I tried to free myself from emotions I cannot conceal.
But sometimes they see outside
Despite my efforts, at times, others can perceive my inner self.
Sometimes my worlds collide
Occasionally, the different aspects of my life clash or conflict.
I can't find outlets to clear my mind
I cannot find ways to clear my thoughts or emotions.
I'm tired of only writing when I'm down
I'm weary of only expressing myself through writing when I'm feeling low.
But the truth resides behind the tell tale signs
The truth is hidden behind obvious signs or clues.
I ignore hoping that they won't persist
I choose to ignore it, hoping the issues won't persist.
I ignore hoping that they don't exist
Ignoring, in the hope that the problems don't actually exist.
It's fine, I'll get it right
It's okay; I believe I will succeed eventually.
And do it better next time
I'll improve and handle things better in the future.
I could not let you go
I couldn't let you go; I held onto the connection.
I'd say sorry for the things we can't control
If there are aspects beyond our control, I apologize.
I'd say sorry for the way we have grown old
Apologizing for the natural process of aging and change.
But I stood by you for our shared life
I remained loyal to you throughout our shared life.
You stepped aside and I fell behind
You moved away, and I couldn't keep up; I fell behind.
Don't look back now
Don't dwell on the past; we've finally found a way forward.
We finally found a way out
We've discovered an escape from our previous challenges.
So I will give you what you gave to me
I will reciprocate what you've given me: a departure from comfort and stability.
Disappearance from comfort and stability
Experiencing a shift away from familiar and secure circumstances.
It's fine, you'll get it right
It's okay; you will eventually succeed in handling things better.
You'll do it better next time
You will improve and manage situations more effectively in the future.
