Ashley's Song

All of this has a purpose

And even if it doesn't

Well then maybe you have a purpose

And even if that's bullshit

Sometimes healing means getting out of our own way

Go on and take the first steps

That wasn't so bad was it?

We're so much more capable than we give ourselves credit for

We're much more capable than we give ourselves credit for

Whoa

Whoa

But man what do I know?

I Spent 5 years learning to live sober

And I dont think I'm better than no one

I just let something else become my normal

So I took a walk in the woods to clear my head thinking that

None of these trees care that I'm alive

And they'd be better off if I wasn't

But with friends like you I'm glad that

I've been granted the privilege

Cause whoa

I never asked to exist but I'm out here doing my best at it

No none of us ever asked to exist

We're just all here doing our best at it

Look at us go, look at us go

Look at us growing old

Sometimes I feel bad that I survived

When so many of us didn't

I miss the vigor I had towards life

When you were part of it

But I know the best way to make you proud

Is to pick up where you finished

I can't get so caught in where we used to be that

I forget where I'm going

And I know

I need something

I don't know what it is

But I know I can do so much better than this

We need something

We don't know what it is

But we know that we can do so much better than this

Watch us try

Oh watch us try

And we'll die trying

But we'll go out

We'll go out singing

At least we tried

At least we tried

All of this has a purpose

And even if it doesn't

Well then maybe you have a purpose

Just haven't figured it out yet

And even if that's bullshit

I'm glad i got to know ya

I'm glad that we shared this moment

And I'd be sad to watch you go

To watch you
