    🎙️Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    She was 19 with a baby on the way
    On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
    Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
    She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
    And, across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
    And then she'd turn on the light
    She would sit down at the table
    Tell herself that it's alright
    She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
    She'd never be alone
    Have someone to hold
    And when nights were cold, she'd say
    [Chorus]
    The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
    If we got each other and that's all we have
    I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    And the world's not perfect
    When the world's not kind
    If we have each other then we'll both be fine
    I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    [Verse 2]
    They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
    They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made
    And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
    With each other and though some times were hard
    Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
    And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
    But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
    Even at the end, their love was stronger then the day that they first met
    They'd say
    [Chorus]
    The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
    If we got each other and that's all we have
    I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    And the world's not perfect
    When the world's not kind
    If we have each other then we'll both be fine
    I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    [Bridge]
    You should know I'll be there for you
    [Verse 4]
    I'm 23 and my folks are getting old
    I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
    So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
    When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
    I know she'd never leave me
    And I hate to see her cry
    So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
    I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
    I wrote this verse to tell her that
    [Chorus]
    The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
    If we got each other and that's all we have
    I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    And the world's not perfect
    When the world's not kind
    If we have each other then we'll both be fine
    I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    [Outro]
    You should I know I'll be there for you

      That verse hit close to home as my brother had recently been murdered when I first listened to this song. Hearing him sing about his sister like that felt as though I were hearing my brothers last words to me, almost as though he had sent of piece of himself from Hades realm(I'm pagan and worship/follow Hades as my god of death, therefore I believe we get sent there after death. Please do not argue with me on this or comment how it's weird or try to shove your viewpoints down my throat,) to show me he's still with me in heart and it'll be okay eventually.
      I still always do cry when I hear that part of the song. I miss you Bryan, I always will. I'm never gonna forget you and I'll live happily for you. Even though it's far away in time, I can't wait to see you again. I love you, forever and always big bro❤

    When life wasn’t easy 6 years ago she popped into my life when I needed it the most
    I know she would never betray me so I hate to see her sad
    So I made this verse to tell her that I’m always on her side, I made this verse to tell her that I’m always on her side I made this verse to tell her that
    The world’s not perfect but it’s not that bad

      @@Diana-vc5ht This song isn't exactly about his sister (And idk if he has one or not) But there's a verse where he talks about being by her side.

    I am a single child and this song makes me emotional. I have nobody by my side and my parents don't try to understand me, they love me a lot but I always feel lonely and heartbroken. I wish I had an older sibling whom I could have been thankful to. I need to deal all my problems all alone and I hope that is the reason I stay strong but at home I cry my heart out. I guess life's not easy.

      I have 2 siblings and they are always against me I deal like an outcast and my mom doesn’t understand how I feel and at this point I keep my feelings on the inside

      Honey I'll be your older sister. You're gonna be okay. It's okay to feel lonely, it's okay to cry, but you are never alone. There is always someone there for you, whether you realize it or not, it's just a matter of finding that person. You're doing amazing, have a wonderful day and make sure you get yourself some food and water and a good nights rest.

      Lets not sugarcoat it life can suck a ton but its got its ups.
      But the reason times can be good is because of the bad times.
      What im saying is once you get out of that tunnel you will feel so good
      You just gotta stick with it.

    his verse about his sister/family really spoke to me.
    it makes me wish my older brother would actually care enough about me to actually say he’d be by my side when times are rough.
    at least i have my dog though i guess.

      I lost my reputation , my respect , my parents were blamed for my faults , my loving grandparents are no more , my pet dog left for heaven , I lost my love .... So what's left ?
      Still I stay happy with a hope that someday things will be fine.😭
      And I would never commit suicide
      I hope you all would never suffer from the condition I am suffering from 😘😘

      Flip off the beginning is the best part. All of it is the best parts!!!!!!! I hear this song every single day. I don't take it off not 1 time. I even hear it whenever I'm asleep, awake, doing chores, going to the beach, I never stopped hearing this. And I never will stop hearing this. It makes my heart warm and makes me happy, and a little bit sometimes sad. But, I love this song to be honest. And I always do hear it. I hope u like it more. ❤️
