Home Ties Lyrics

This part of my life is about achieving everything I set out to achieve
I have dedicated this part of my life to accomplishing all the goals I've envisioned.

I know, that at times I have felt like I could be influenced far too easily.
I acknowledge that there were instances where I let other people's opinions and actions sway me too much.

All the years I spent looking for happiness, and a group to belong too
I spent years searching for joy and a sense of belonging with a specific group of people.

It all means nothing and now I'm a shadow of the man I used to be
Despite my efforts, I feel like those pursuits were futile, and I'm not the person I once was.

But I have found, such things.
Despite my struggles, I have found some things that give me joy and fulfillment.

Positivity, in my life has been outweighed by sadness but is slowly, growing.
Although negativity has dominated my life, I am slowly starting to see more positive things.

And this was the main thing I set out to achieve
I aimed to find positivity in my life, and it's becoming a reality.

I have found a positive state for the first time in my life
For the first time ever, I have found myself in a positive mindset.

I'm proud of myself and the fact that I can say that
It brings me satisfaction to know I have achieved this positive state and can acknowledge it.

I'm content with everything I've done this year, things are staying bright in summertime
I am happy with my accomplishments over the past year, and things are looking up for me.

And for once, the future in my eyes, is looking just fine.
I feel optimistic about the future, which is unusual for me.

Thank you, thank you whoever has helped me
I am grateful to the people who have contributed to my well-being and progress.

Even at my worst I remember the ones who made me who I am
During my lowest moments, I recall the people who have shaped me into the person I am today.

Who made me a better man.
They have had a positive impact on my life and helped me become a better version of myself.

When I am beaten by my mind I remember the things that I have seen
During tough times, I reflect on the memories and experiences that have brought me joy in the past.

I have every right to be sad but why should I let that be?
It's acceptable to feel sad, but why should I allow it to consume me?

I have every right to feel like this, and I'll do that if I want to.
It's within my right to feel negative emotions, but I don't have to dwell on them if I choose not to.

But why should I plague my waking hours with constant sadness.
I don't want to spend my days overwhelmed by sadness and negativity.

When I'm better than this, I'm better than this,
I am capable of feeling more positive and shouldn't let negative emotions define me.

Should I waste away, forget my dreams and die
Should I give up on my aspirations and fade away?

Or should I make a life of them?
Or should I pursue my dreams and create a fulfilling life?

I know if I hold on and stay in this positive state
I believe that if I maintain this positive mindset,

My life won't be forgotten
I won't live a life without significance or meaning.

You're better than this, I'm better than this
We are both capable of achieving and feeling better than what we currently are.

We're better than this.
We can overcome our struggles and live a more fulfilling life.
