Better Version

I'm sorry I was not my better version

I had to sober up to find the cure

I'm sorry I was not the better version

Of myself

I saw my world dissolve

In colors loud

And feeling numb

I lost myself, but now

I'm reaching out again

So if I

Hurt you

Please know

It wasn't real

The shadow took the wheel

There's clarity

In every tear I cried

And though I vanished out

I never really died

I'm building me

With every truth I hide

I'm sorry I was not my better version

I had to sober up to find the cure

I'm sorry I was not the better version

Of myself

So if I

Hurt you

Please know

It wasn't real

The shadow took the wheel

There's clarity

In every tear I cried

And though I vanished out

I never really died

I'm building up inside

I broke some trust

It's hard to mend

But this is not

How my story ends

I'm learning how to be the

Truest friend

Of mine
