One Step Closer (Original Song)

Mothers wait for sons to come home,
Fathers cry as they let their daughters go,
This family is all I've got,
So I'll take it by the reigns and hold it close.
As I step into the world beyond,
I know that I will have to stay strong.
And as the clock of life ticks closer to the end,
I hope I find comfort in

You and the people I've come to know
This life ain't worth living
If you aren't there holding me close.
And I swear on my very soul
That this destiny laid out for me
Will never, ever be written in stone.

Sitting on the edge of the world,
I've wondered what it's like to be dead.
Do I deserve a happy ending or
Are false hopes clouding up my head?
This stranger I've become
has hidden the real me in the dust.
So I'll wait

For you, and the people I've come to know.
This life ain't worth living,
If you aren't there holding me close.
And I swear on my very soul,
That this destiny laid out for me
Will never, ever be written in-

Sometimes I sit and wonder
What it would be like to be dead.
But then I think and all the good things
come and swirl around in my head.
If happiness is just the journey,
Could the destination be as great?
And if I try hard enough,
Will it be the blade I'll learn to hate?

So I'll wait
For you
And the people I've come to know.
And thanks,
This life
is easier to live by your side,
In hopes
One day
I won't need this awful blade
To feel
The happiness
I wish to feel each day.
