I'm a little wiser, baby
I'm a little kinder, baby
After all these years, it's time to let you know
See, I learned some things, my baby
Finally spread my wings to save me
Yes, I lost myself, that's why I had to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the light came, baby
Right after I forgave me
And I prayed so hard, I thought I'd lose my mind
I'm a little stronger, baby
Took a little longer, maybe
Tell my younger self to enjoy the ride
[Chorus]
Do you know, do you know, do you know I'm doing better?
Do you know, do you know, do you know I'm doing better?
[Post-Chorus]
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
[Verse 2]
I'm a little softer, baby
Fighting's exhausting, baby
After all these tears, it's time I let it go
It's kinda hard to say, my baby
When you're in pain, my baby
When your life is breaking down and it's out of your control
[Pre-Chorus]
But then the light, it came, baby
Right after I forgave me
And I prayed so hard, I thought I'd lose my mind
I'm a little stronger, baby
Took a little longer, maybe
Tell my younger self to enjoy the ride
[Chorus]
Do you know, do you know, do you know that things get better?
Do you know, do you know, do you know?
I had to grow the rose in the dark
I had to grow the rose in the dark
Everybody sees you falling apart
I had to grow the rose in the dark
Dark
[Post-Chorus]
Hold out a little longer
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Just hold out a little longer
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
