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

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

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?

It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

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

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

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

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
