lyrics

Better Than You Realize
Lyrics and Arrangement: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP)

Verse 1
Sad too far that’s what she told herself seven days a week
I’ve done it now I can’t go back repeats in her mind
Just like a dream
Sometimes you feel that it’s the end
And that your whole world is falling down, completely apart
But it will shine again

Verse 2
She made a choice to finally fall but love let her down
And now she won’t let anyone else in
No love allowed
A frustrated heart can break
But it only take one minute to realize
That everything will be ok.

Hook
If you only get one shot at love hold on don’t give up
Even if you heart it just breaks
If you only get one chance to be everything that you’ve dreamed
Then that’s a chance that you’ve gotta take
If you never do anything else, believe in yourself
And always be willing to try
It may look bad right now
But life’s better than you realize

Verse 2
(Oh love) it just doesn’t play fair
You’ve gotta take a stand
(It’s not over) It’s never too late to start
To begin again
Your destiny awaits
Don’t forfeit what’s to come, don’t just give up
Don’t throw it all away

Hook
Bridge
I know right now it seems hopeless but I promise it gets better
Even if it hurts, in time it will work out and get better
Hold on to the promise when He promised you He’ll make it better
You can make it. You can make it.
So stand up now and declare over yourself it will get better
Don’t give in to what you feel. That’s a lie and you know better
Hold on to the promise when He promised you He’ll make it better
You can make it. You can make it.

Hook
