Matthew James - Right Now Lyrics

People who should have loved me
Couldn't love me for who I was
I got inside of a box
One that would be acceptable
They prayed it was a phase
But they couldn't pray enough
Was so brutal to learn
That their love was conditional

I felt so lonely and bitter
Does any of this sound familiar?

Right now, all you see if the dark
Right now, you don't wanna feel your heart
Right now, you think no one cares
Right now, life is so unfair
Right now, you don't wanna breathe
Right now, I need you to listen to me
Right now, you don't wanna surrender
But right now doesn't last forever

I used to sleep around
'Cuz I had so much to prove
I used to keep so quiet
So I wouldn't stand out too much
I'd denied every rumour
Thinking that would erase my truth
Stood on the edge of pain
Believing it would end if I jumped

I felt so confused and little
Does any of this sound familiar?

Right now, all you see if the dark
Right now, you don't wanna feel your heart
Right now, you think no one cares
Right now, life is so unfair
Right now, you don't wanna breathe
Right now, I need you to listen to me
Right now, you don't wanna surrender
But right now doesn't last forever

Right now, you think you're the only one who feels this way
Oh, it's not true
I used to feel the same as you
Right now, you think you will never break free of these chains
Don't believe that lie
No right now, don't you say good bye

Right now, all you see if the dark
Right now, you don't wanna feel your heart
Right now, you think no one cares
Right now, life is so unfair
Right now, you don't wanna breathe
Right now, I need you to listen to me
Right now, you don't wanna surrender
But right now doesn't last forever

It doesn't last forever
No, it don't last forever
Don't give up, don't give up now
