Better Late Than Never - Jason Myers

[intro] Yeh - doo do do, let’s go! [Verse 1] I spent my twenties running fast, Chasing moments I thought would last. Didn’t know myself, didn’t slow down, Didn’t trust my voice, barely stood my ground. Now I look back with a softer mind, All the things I missed, I’m starting to find. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe the timing Was never really wrong… Maybe I just needed To grow into this song. [Chorus] I’m learning now, and that’s okay, Turning old fears into brighter days. Didn’t know love, didn’t know worth, Took me too many years to put myself first. But the truth hits deeper when you feel it later— Yeah, I’m getting it now… Better late than never. [Verse 2] I didn’t know how to stay when things got rough, Didn’t know how to know when enough is “enough.” I thought I knew how to keep the peace, But that only made my own voice weak. Now I’m seeing life with open eyes, Growing into someone I finally recognize. [Pre-Chorus] So maybe the timing Wasn’t late at all… Maybe you rise stronger When you learn from every fall. [Chorus] I’m learning now, and that’s okay, Turning old fears into brighter days. Didn’t know love, didn’t know worth, Took me too many years to put myself first. But the truth hits deeper when you feel it later— Yeah, I’m getting it now… Better late than never. [Bridge] I let go of all the versions I was scared to leave behind, Found a gentler kind of courage Growing quiet in my mind. And maybe I took the long way, But the long way led me here… To a heart that’s done with running, And a life that’s finally clear. [Final Chorus – softer, more spacious] I’m learning now, and that’s okay, Turning old fears into brighter days. Didn’t know love, didn’t know worth, Took me way too many years to put myself first. But wisdom hits different when you earn it later— Yeah, I’m feeling it now… Better late… Better late than never. [Outro – slow, open] Better late… Better late than never.
