Trevors Song It Gets Better

Intro verse 1 He wakes up in the morning, his eyes are red he hardly slept It were his thoughts that kept him up all night, one of so many nights he cried. These awful names till floating through his head with all the nasty things they said carving their marks into his heart Their nochalance rips him apart. Another day, will it be cruel? The fear travels with him to school Nervous he treads into the hall, he ingores what they call I know you find it hard to believe but it gets better. I know it hurts it's only a matter of time and then you will find: It takes the dark of night before the sun can shine I know the pain is hard to forget, but life gets brighter, with a smile on your face you'll stand right there and then no more need to pretend, you know the time was tough but it was effort well spent. verse 2 She's gazing out the window before laugh this used to be her favourite class Now it takes all her energy to keep their words away You see her distant looks, her empty stares, gifts from a word that doesn't care She doesn't know she's not alone, she doesn't feel she has a home As she gets pushed onto the ground, she doesn't even make a sound People look the other way. The teachers pretends it's just childly play I know you find it hard to believe but it gets better. I know it hurts it's only a matter of time and then you will find: It takes the dark of night before the sun can shine I know the pain is hard to forget, but life gets brighter, with a smile on your face you'll stand right there and then no more need to pretend, you know the time was tough but it was effort well spent. Bridge So what you're different from the rest Can't you see that you are best Being yourself is not a sin You give this world some coloring Please put that pen and letter down, soon the world will be your playground, I know it seems too much to bear it takes some strength but you're getting there. verse 3 It took some time for them but finally they understand it's other peoples insecurities and not their own that brought them to their knees. The world it is an ever changing place. Still they don't always like its pace. They know it's moving the right way it's getting better every day. The girl got up, after a while. The boy remembered how to smile. And when they see someone who's down they tell them now: I know you find it hard to believe but it gets better. I know it hurts it's only a matter of time and then you will find: It takes the dark of night before the sun can shine I know the pain is hard to forget, but life gets brighter, with a smile on your face you'll stand right there and then no more need to pretend, you know the time was tough but it was effort well spent.
