In the air

I can feel it in the air, it’s time to say goodbye

To an old version of me that’s trying to ruin my life

I try to be happy but I’ve got this darker side

That’s taking my smile and still selling me lies

Like I’m not good enough for love

Or the love that I give will never be enough

To keep a good woman from always gettin up

And leaving a broken man alone, in the dust

It’s a daily battle to keep me from giving up

But she tells me that I’m strong, and she’s not going anywhere

Even when I hit the bottom and choose to stay there

I’m always at war with bad decisions I’ve made

But I can’t do it any more, that’s over today

So I’ll put it in the air, and let it float away

All the things that hurt, that I keep from yesterday

Let it rain tonight, and bring me a new day

I close my eyes as I feel it coming over me

I got this voice inside my head, I choose to call him fear

He says I’m all alone and that no one loves me here

Well fuck, sometimes he’s right cuz I’ve done some stupid shit

A result of my own actions, how low I fuckin get

Now if that’s the case and it all starts and ends with me

I’m the one in control of how happy I can be

So I give away these words and accept the therapy

Of saying goodbye to yesterday and hello to a better me

I know I can be better and I think she knows it too

Why else would a good fucking woman wanna see this shit through?

She says all the time we’re more important than the fear

So all this worrying shot has gotta stop here

So I’ll put it in the air, and let it float away

All the things that hurt, that I keep from yesterday

Let it rain tonight, and bring a new day

I close my eyes as I feel it coming over me
