Cast a shadow I have grown
Day by day, I know it all gets better, gets better
Brick by brick to build me up
Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better)
Gets better (better, better, better)
Mental Health rooted deep in my family tree
We planted seeds in a toxic society
I break my bones I get rushed to the doctors
If I break my mind I hide that shit inside my hurt locker
Become the best actor, I know genders a factor
We say we ain't affected, until our minds infected
Until my sister and my brother-in-law
Be sleeping on my floor, 'Cause there's no way to be sure
If I'm gon' make it through the night
Out like a light, I don't know if I'm alright
Suicide on my mind, all the time Jesus Christ
They check my drawers for knives
I ain't got the tools
To go and make it through this life, through this strife
She hold my hand and told me it's gon' be ok
She took me to the doctors told me not to be afraid
Sitting in waiting rooms without any room to wait
I don't know if I'm gon' make another day
Cast a shadow I have grown
Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better)
Gets better (better, better, better)
Brick by brick to build me up
Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better)
Gets better (better, better)
(Vocalising)
It all gets better (better)
(Vocalising)
Gets better (better)
(Vocalising)
It all gets better (better)
(Vocalising)
Gets better (better)
I would man up and be ok (yeah)
But I ain't gon' make another day
I'm sitting in front of therapists not knowing what to say
Accepting that I'm weak is really what made me brave
I won't ever beat this shit no way it can be defeated
You don't wake up without it
You just learn to live with it
You just learn a different way to process things up in your brain
It ain't really that simple progress produces pain
Some days I didn't think I'd make it through
Running 'round without a clue
Stuck in sorrow like it's glue
It get's better where's the proof?
Hard to recognise change
When you are you every day
Everyday becomes mundane
Looking back, I know that I been making strides
Everyday it's an accomplishment I'm still alive
So today I celebrate the pain we overcame
I know it's not gone, but we still remain
Cast a shadow I have grown
Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better)
Gets better (better, better, better)
Brick by brick to build me up
Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better)
Gets better (better, better)
(Vocalising)
It all gets better (better)
(Vocalising)
Gets better (better)
(Vocalising)
It all gets better (better)
(Vocalising)
Gets better (better)
Better (better, better, better)
Better (better, better, better)
Better (better, better, better)
Better (better, better)
