shaodow - painting lyrics

intro

do you ever wish, you could write a letter to your younger self? and you’d receive it at a time when you really needed it?

let yourself know what mistakes to avoid, what you’re doing right, or that everything’s gonna be ok. if i could, it’d probably be something like this…

verse 1

i know you’re having a tough time i’ve been there
you’ve had enough of it plus life ain’t been fair
you suffer silently but find within there’s a sadness and pain
anger and hate
self-doubt’s captured your brain
i see it
it’s kinda difficult fitting in
when your thinking isn’t twinned with your peers so they’re belittling
‘cos you’re different
and you’re wishing that weren’t the case
learnt to fake to be accepted
now turn and face
you’ll be alone for a long time
those close will do you wrong
find it hard to feel like you belong
i know you’re a strong guy
but please stop caring what they think
they’ll only hold you down beneath the water till you sink

chorus

let it rain let it rain let it pour
i used to cry tears when they made me feel small
now i dip my pen in the pain and i paint let it all out
i learnt to swim while they all drown

so let it rain let it rain let it fall
i used to get bruised when my back hit the wall
i wish i could’ve told me
the old me to know though the storm’s loud
we learnt to swim while they all drowned
verse 2

it still hurts when i think what you’re going through
never knowing who’s best to be turning to
so alone but still you’re learning through
trials and error
mostly error
hold together
don’t you let up
it goes better
i wrote this letter just to tell ya it’s not as bad as you currently feel
but when you hate yourself more than they dislike you it gets real
without the confidence in self it becomes harder to deal
and no direction for your life it’s like you’re drunk at the wheel
they’ll try to break your mind and spirit every time you will heal
‘til your will and determination becomes harder than steel
this ordeal is temporary you can leave it behind ya
you’ll find the peace that you desire when you travel to china
things ain’t perfect yet
but in retrospect
you’re closer to the happiness than you thought you could ever get
and d-mn right
without all that you swam through
i wouldn’t be here and i wouldn’t be me
so i thank you

chorus

let it rain let it rain let it pour
i used to cry tears when they made me feel small
now i dip my pen in the pain and i paint let it all out
i learnt to swim while they all drown

verse 3

p.s you’re gonna travel the world
inspire many people both guys and the girls
life will always find a move to screw you
i cannot say that it all improves
but you do
oh and invest in youtube
learn a foreign language if you can
normal ain’t the plan
i wrote this to you in j-pan
on your feet and make a stand
to be great you need the pain
all the hurt will wash away
like it’s dirt so let it rain

chrous

let it rain let it rain let it pour
i never show them fear if they make me feel small
still i dip my pen in the pain and i paint let it all out
i learnt to swim while they all drown

so let it rain let it rain let it fall
i knock the ting down when my back hits the wall
i wish i could’ve told me
the old me to know though the storm’s loud
we learnt to swim while they all drowned

outro

p.p.s. don’t drink milk. that’s a whole next type of pain
