Hospital white.  
How long have I got this life? 
I flinch at every light. 

Trying not to think. 
There's so much that I swore 
I'd live for. 

What if its not like this forever?  
I've heard sometimes, 
people don't always get better. 
Maybe that's me, me, me. 
I'm so sorry. 

Do you start counting the days after,  
or before I left? Which will be harder? 
Wonder what the world will be like after.  
I hope your lungs can still breathe laughter. 

If the time comes for me to go 
and I haven't let you know, 
Well, I hope that you know... 
That you're the best 
that this world has showed. 

What if its not like this forever?  
I've heard sometimes, 
people don't get better. 
What if that's me, me, me?  
I'm so sorry. 

If you bring me roses, 
take one home. 
Keep it by the window 
so you'll see that life still grows. 
I hope you'll know that 
I didn't mean to go.

Can't stay around forever, 
but I've heard sometimes, 
people get better. 
If it's not me, 
then it's you. 
If I won't, 
then you will. 

When I go, 
oh, I know 
someday,
somehow,  
you're gonna 
get better. 

Promise you so. 
Oh, I know 
you'll get better. 
I won't. 
But you will.  

I won't,  
but you will.  

'Better' - 02/02/23.
Really proud of this one.
