What Will Make Me Great

I can't tell if I'm better than I was If I'm smarter than I was If I'm rotten to the core I can't tell if I'm softer than I was If I'm harder than I was Like a father after war Maybe this pain is ruining my life Maybe this pain is what will make me great In time I don't know if it's shaping who I am If it's breaking who I am But I don't dare to ask I don't know if it's medicine I'm sippin' If it's poison I'm drinkin' But I know it tastes bad Maybe this pain is ruining my life Maybe this pain is what will make me great In time Maybe it'll make sense to me Maybe this pain is meant for me Or maybe life's just out to get me Maybe this pain is what will make me great In time
