Will I, will I, will I ever smile again?
Dear future me
Will I, will I, will I die within? Questions
Will I be alright?
Cause I'm trying to maintain
I lose sleep at night
Trying not to go insane
Will I ever move from this place?
I can't give up
I don't wanna lose em
I'm tryna conquer this thing I call life
Sometimes I wonder is it worth the fight?
The struggle is real
Dear future me
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
Dear future me
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Dear future me
Do I, do I, do I even have a chance?
Dear future me
Will I, will I get to feel again?
I've put this wall up
They won't hurt me again
I don't wanna lose em
I just wanna do what I feel's right
Is it worth my life?
Dear future me
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
Dear future me
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Dear future me
I can see the sun peeking through the rain
Dear future me
Cause I let go, let go of the pain and shame
Dear future me (finally)
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
Dear future me
I think I can make it now the pain is gone
Dear future
Me
Dear future me
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
Dear future me
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Dear future me
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
Dear future me
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
Where will I go, will I go, will I go?
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
How will I know, will I know, will I know?
My future is calling
My future is calling I gotta go
I can't stay here no more
I can't stay here no more gotta go
