Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I'm better sober, sober
Clear view in all my thoughts
Seasons over over
A million of blessings brought
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close I know
Sunny days are meant to come
Cause rain don't ever last too long
Older now all this weight
Is sitting on my shoulders now
Days are longer and the nights
Are colder now
Gotta stay alert and keep it sober now
If I pull away I'm fighting gravity
I just wanna see my family proud of me
Faith undoubtedly this ain't lottery
I was focused on me more than God
That's a lot of me
If I don't fit in then I'll be fine
I'm an anomaly
Oh take your time
All of this don't happen overnight oh yeah
Don't get tired
Better days are on the other side oh yeah
I'm better sober sober
Clear view in all my thoughts
Seasons over over
A million of blessings brought
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close I know
Sunny days are meant to come
Cause rain don't ever last too long
I had to dig for something real
I had to get it out the field
I had to dig deep and wake up
I had some demons to kill
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close I know
Sunny days are meant to come
Cause rain don't ever last too long
I've been trying to fight these voices
Chasing silence
What I needed I could
Never find it
I was getting high off of pride
I was taking lies and
I was living blind
Trying to hide my insecurities
Needed purity
So I lay down and died
And to my surprise I resurrected
Sober now I got new direction
They told me oh take your time
All of this don't happen overnight oh yeah
Don't get tired
Better days on the other side oh yeah
I'm better sober, sober
Clear view in all my thoughts
Seasons over over
A million of blessings brought
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close I know
Sunny days are meant to come
Cause rain don't ever last too long
I had to dig for something real
I had to get it out the field
I had to dig deep and wake up
I had some demons to kill
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close I know
Sunny days are meant to come
Cause rain don't ever last too long
