Sometimes you realize a little too late for your own sake
that you gotta fix some shit. Because you can't cross over that line again.
The one you made a few years ago, that you never would let a vindictive soul
convince you that life without her would never make you happy.
Have faith, you gotta keep your head straight.
Hold on, you'll thank me when it's all done.
And when it's over you'll be a new man for the better.
I'd do anything at all to be happier on my own.
Now you've already left, I already regret wishing you'd come back home.
I know that you've been losing sleep now,
you've been hurt too many ways to see how this is good. I swear this is a good thing.
Deep breaths, all you need to do is trust me,
at least it's better than always chasing every pretty smile that happens to look your way.
Have faith, you gotta keep your head straight.
Hold on, you'll thank me when it's all done.
And when it's over you'll be a new man for the better.
