"Future You" lyrics

(Thanks for calling The National Suicide Prevention Hotline)
Future you is glad you stayed
And didn't throw your life away
'Cause there's a light on the other side
Of what you're going through

I've been where you are right now
Trying to see through the darkest clouds
Felt average and replaceable
With pain that's unexplainable
If hope feels unattainable
Don't let go
'Cause you should know

Future you is glad you stayed
And didn't throw your life away
'Cause there's a light on the other side
Of what you're going through
Future you was scared to death
You'd end it all before you met
A person that you can't see yet
That's got a better view
So please don't give up on future you
Please don't give up on future you

I lived in that angry place
Pissed off every time they'd say
"What's in your head is changeable
Be grateful, not insatiable"
Sweet talk, but unavailable
Screw their help, you've got yourself
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Future you is glad you stayed
And didn't throw your life away
'Cause there's a light on the other side
Of what you're going through
Future you was scared to death
You'd end it all before you met
A person that you can't see yet
That's got a better view

They have perspective that you don't
They have wisdom you can't know
Right now they're a stranger
But they'll thank you later
They feel much more than you
They're praying you get through
Right now they're a stranger
But they'll thank you later

Future you is glad you stayed
And didn't throw your life away
Future you was scared to death
You'd end it all before you met
A person that you can't see yet
That's got a better view
Please don't give up on future you
Please don't give up on future you

Please don't give up on future you
Please don't give up on future you
(Please don't give up on future you)
