Recovery

INTRO
You see me smiling, you think my life is lovely
It’s cos I choose to not show you the other me
I had to go through things to rediscover me;
Now this is my recovery
This is my recovery
The worst is over now this is my recovery

VERSE ONE
No point doing music again, is what some people were telling me
I told them this is more than music; this has been my therapy
I'm usually smiling, so this is the side that you never see
Couldn't talk bout these lost thoughts so, I put them in a melody (there)

Life was my enemy (wherе?); When I couldn't get no rest
I seemеd okay but needed to say; so much shit that was deep in my brain
But thought I could cope and forget this mess
You never woulda guessed I'm stressed
One thing I've learnt in life is anybody can get depressed (for real)

You probably felt like me (like me); and I probably felt like you (like you)
And that person that you envy, they probably felt this too (mmm)
I hope you listen to this, deep what I say and it helps you through
Maybe it will help you through, cah it helped me through

See that's why I do this, that's what I jumped back on the music
Cos I was in a dark, dark place (I was); where I felt like I was gunna lose it (mmm)
So glad that I didn't lose it but music it helped me get through shit
I thank God that I didn't lose it

CHORUS
You see me smiling, you think my life is lovely (you do)
It’s cos I choose to not show you the other me (I don’t)
I had to go through things to rediscover me (I had to)
Now this is my recovery
This, this, this is my recovery
The worst is over now this is my recovery

VERSE 2
See I was in a dark, dark place now I see some light so let's move forward (woo)
Man I dealt with some of my feelings; some can never be sorted (never)
I felt so lonely before, right now I feel so supported
Thank you. I know what is important

What? Friends and family (yep). Not the ends and vanity (nope)
I had to stay headstrong when life got long tryna run up and damage me (mm)
Like how did I manage? In them times where life was attacking me
And I had no plan or strategy (nope), swear down it was a challenge (it was)

But you see them tings there, gone, all in my rear view (Bye!)
Demons still whisper to man, I tell them YY can't hear you (no)
I tell them that I'm not so young anymore, come, come man I dare you (bring it)
It's no longer I fear you (sing it), I see light through a clear view

Now I gotta do this (yep); now I can't flop with the music (nope)
Cos I got out my dark, dark place; where I felt like I was gunna lose it
So glad that I didn't lose it, music it helped me get through shit
Thank God that I didn't lose it

OUTRO
You see me smiling and think my life is lovely (you do)
It’s cos I choose to not show you the other me (i dont)
I had to go through things to rediscover me; (I had to)
Now this is my recovery
This, this, this is my recovery
The worst is over now this is my recovery
