    🎙️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

      We’ve moved around last couple years and it was a tough change and we’ve really come so much closer, and we’re helping each other survive living in someplace new, adapting to the city, with crushes and friends, and helping each other out.
      If it weren’t for him I would be surviving freshman year right now.

      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

    When he talk about his sister I instantly cried. Because that's exactly what I felt. I have three younger siblings and being bullied throught middle school, they and my only friend were the reasons I survived.

    I know almost nobody is going to see this, but Alec Benjamin has really changed my life. I get sad a lot, but then I just think about Alec’s songs, and hum them in my head, and it really calms me down. The songs are so moving, and personally, I like this song and his collaboration with dream the best. Alec Benjamin, I f you ever see this, just know that I love you, and I’m here for you man.

    I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
    So I'm thankful for my brother even though sometimes we fight
    Though high school isn't easy, he's the reason I'm alive
    I know he'd never leave me
    And I hate to see him cry
    So I wrote this verse to tell him that I'm always by his side
    I wrote this verse to tell him that I'm always by his side

    The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

    I will be your sister 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 sister and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    You should I know I'll be there for you
