Better Now
Embracing Transformation: Love's Journey Through Pain
Lyrics
You can't chase the darkness with a bright, bright light
You cannot overcome darkness using a bright light.
'Cause the sunshine burns you up when you get too high
Excessive positivity or success can have negative consequences.
You can't cure loneliness with company
Loneliness cannot be resolved by having company.
If you really knew yourself, you'd never get lonely
Understanding oneself deeply prevents loneliness.
It's not a ride if you never get off
A meaningful experience requires stepping out of one's comfort zone.
It's not a marathon if you run in a race that don't stop
A marathon loses its essence if it doesn't have a finish line.
I was killing the pain
Dealing with pain by unhealthy means.
The only way I knew how
Coping with pain in the only way known at that time.
But baby, I know better now
Realization of a better way to handle pain.
Oh, I loved you the way
Loving someone in a way that may not have been healthy.
The only way I knew how
Expressing love in the only way known at that time.
But I can love you better now
Commitment to love in a healthier manner now.
We look so perfect from the outside in
Perception of perfection may not reflect the reality within.
But you can tear down those walls, you know they were paper thin
Breaking down emotional walls that are fragile.
If the weight's too heavy, let it break your heart
Allowing challenges to break one's heart for personal growth.
That's how you learn the art of falling apart
Learning from the experience of falling apart.
I was killing the pain
Addressing pain through unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The only way I knew how
Acknowledging the need for a better approach to pain.
But baby, I know better now
Growth and understanding leading to better choices.
Oh, I loved you the way
Past love expressed in a way that may not have been ideal.
The only way I knew how
Love expressed in the only way known at that time.
But I can love you better now
Commitment to love in a healthier manner now.
I can love you better now
Affirmation of the ability to love better now.
Let me love you better now
Invitation to be loved in a better way.
I can love you better now
Expressing confidence in offering improved love.
Let me love you better now
Repeated assurance of the capacity to love better.
It's not a party if it happens every day
Defining a party as an occasional, not constant, event.
It's not medicine if it just makes the symptoms go away
Medication should address the root cause, not just symptoms.
I was killing the pain
Dealing with pain through unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The only way I knew how
Acknowledging the need for a better approach to pain.
But baby, I know better now
Growth and understanding leading to better choices.
Oh, I loved you the way
Past love expressed in a way that may not have been ideal.
The only way I know how
Love expressed in the only way known at that time.
But I can love you better now
Commitment to love in a healthier manner now.
I can love you better now
Affirmation of the ability to love better now.
(Can't you feel the change? I am not the same)
Noticing and embracing personal change.
Let me love you better now
Invitation to experience improved love.
(I am not the same, can't you feel the change?)
Highlighting personal transformation.
I can love you better now
Affirmation of the ability to love better now.
(Can't you feel the change? I am not the same)
Noticing and embracing personal change.
Let me love you better now
Invitation to experience improved love.
(I am not the same)
Emphasizing personal transformation and change.
