How it’ll be?

When reality hits, you’re knocked down and defeated
Caught up in a tidal wave of emotion
Slammed against a wall the wind knocked from your lungs
And you wonder… is this how it’ll be?

There is no turning back, no slowing down
You have to accept what is
While slamming hard on broken breaks
With hopes that maybe, just maybe
This is not how it’ll be…

Weakened and betrayed by what has always been strong
Just moving through the motions while being dragged along
Is it better to know the inevitable fate
You wonder… is this how it’ll be?

As a bystander you’re helpless unsure what to say or do
While the subject is even more helpless unsure of what to say or do
They’re both on their spectrums of what ifs and uncertainties
The battle between guilt and heartbreak is not a linear race
No one’s the winner, everyone loses
This can not be how it’ll be!

No, choose to stay positive, have hope and believe
It may be a difficult road to travel
But keep your head above the sea
Fighting back against every shed tear
You’ll find a new found strength that lights the way
That’s how it’ll be!

Stand strong in your light shining bright
Nothing can dim what can’t be unseen
Know that you’ve got this with love all around
Because no, that is not how it’ll be!
