What Tomorrow Means

I'm not crying
No, not this time
I've swallowed my pride
Behind my tears
I'm in a better place
And when tomorrow comes
It'll be a new day

I'm trying, crying, defining me
An intended purpose, I will lead
Happy within my skin
I can breathe
I'm not crying
No, not this time
I've swallowed my pride
Behind my tears
I'm in a better place
And when tomorrow comes
It'll be a new day

Each step I take I stride, with pride
One day I take in time, it'll be a new day

I'm wanting, needing, defying
The negativity held inside
Hiding the pain of regret
Inflicted doubt of reality
Weighing down the hardship
Of a broken love

I'm not crying
No, not this time
I've swallowed my pride
Behind my tears
I'm in a better place
And when tomorrow comes
It'll be a new day

But no, not this time
You won't break me
Hiding pain with a smile
Laughing loudly, I stand tall
Shunning doubt with great pride
For being me

One day at a time
It'll be a new day
Brighter days lie ahead
A new script I'll write
Unknowing of
What tomorrow brings

And when tomorrow comes
I'll be better off
Without you
