Lyrics
I’ve been having a tough time adjusting
To all the changes that this year has thrown me
No I’m not trying to rewrite the past but I
I want my future to have more of a say
And I’m not trying to be someone else I’m just
Tryna be someone who could learn to love you better
So I’ll be better better better
I wanna be better better better
Cuz I know I’ve made mistakes but I
Don’t want my mistakes to make me
So I’ll be better better better
I’ve been asking the wrong questions the whole time
Like why am I the one who never gets to be the hero of the story
Cuz I’ve been desperate to be something more than just
The culmination of everything I’ve done wrong
And now I finally see where the truth is
And it’s a chance for me to learn to love you better
So I’ll be better better better
I wanna be better better better
Cuz I know I’ve made mistakes but I
Don’t want my mistakes to make me
So I’ll be better better better
And at the end of the day when I close my eyes
I think about all of the people who make me smile
I closed off every single one of them in spite of their attempts
To tell me everything’s ok and I deserve a second chance
If I could gather all the strength left in my heart to persevere
To all the selfish bitter sadness I allowed myself to feel
Then maybe I would have the chance to finally be a better friend
To all the people I will love until the very bitter end
And at the end of the day when I close my eyes
I think about all of the people who saved my life
Cuz I don’t know where I would be if they hadn’t chosen to stay
And reassure me that they love me and that things would be okay
Because the truth is that I love them with all my heart
And I will love them til the day my sickly body falls apart
So I’ll be better better better
I promise to get better better better
