[00:00.000] 作词 : Ashlee Britton Robinson/Cole Boillat/Jameil Aossey
[00:01.137]To my younger self
[00:02.312]I’m writing you from 2012
[00:04.637]It’s not high school that is killing me
[00:06.753]It’s my mental health
[00:08.085]Know you struggle now
[00:09.235]But brace yourself for these few years of hell
[00:11.324]You’ll paint a smile everyday, but every night you’ll pray for help
[00:14.668]
[00:15.400]Wish there was something that I could do to save you from what’s coming
[00:18.769]You might be a soldier, but know that your demons built an army
[00:22.244]And they’re taking over now
[00:23.889]All I see through my tears is black
[00:25.613]Tell mom and dad I love them, but I have to go, no turning back
[00:29.297]
[00:30.890]And I know that your heart is aching
[00:34.103]I know that you don’t know why
[00:37.708]And you can’t stop your hands from shaking
[00:40.817]Now you want to die
[00:41.836]
[00:42.044]If I could tell you everything I know now
[00:45.179]I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
[00:49.071]In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
[00:52.389]You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
[00:54.244]Don’t back down
[00:55.445]
[00:55.916]If I could tell you everything I know now
[00:58.972]I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
[01:02.864]In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
[01:06.208]You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
[01:08.062]Don’t back down
[01:09.342]
[01:10.252]To my younger self
[01:11.354]I’m writing you from 2020
[01:14.044]You made it through the war and woke up to a new beginning
[01:17.493]You graduated college
[01:18.773]Mom and dad are both so proud
[01:20.497]That you rose up from the ashes
[01:22.273]A survivor you are now
[01:23.971]
[01:24.415]How I wish I could write to the girl back in 2012
[01:27.811]And send her all the light to find her way without losing herself
[01:31.285]And show her all the things she’ll miss if she don’t get a second chance
[01:34.707]Thank God I’m here today to tell you that you’ll make it through the black
[01:38.364]
[01:39.853]And I know that your heart was aching
[01:43.223]I know that you put up a fight
[01:46.854]From making it through all the breaking
[01:49.989]Now you feel alive
[01:50.982]
[01:51.138]If I could tell you everything I know now
[01:54.273]I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
[01:58.035]In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
[02:01.404]You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
[02:03.285]Don’t back down
[02:04.591]
[02:04.983]If I could tell you everything I know now
[02:07.987]I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
[02:11.880]In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
[02:15.249]You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
[02:17.078]Don’t back down
