Better
Better
I want to do better
I have to do better
But there are things I have to do
Things I’m not willing to do
Things I would only do for you
Maybe if you were still here
I would try and steer clear
And try not to overhear
The things that are said about me
But…
You're not
So I still hear what they say
And I see what they try to do
To make me stay away
From my goals and dreams
If only they could hear me scream
I try to keep it in touch
But it just sits inside of me
Trying to force its way free
Wouldn’t you be?
They see me smile
But all I see is the deep denial
So maybe if I do better
Just maybe… just maybe
They would stop
But its okay cause ill see you again
Well be like old friends
And then ill be all better
So why try now
When I could try later
Buts that’s just what they went
And I don’t want that again
But why should I care what they think of me
Well don’t you see?
There what I want to be
Is it true after all they could do
You still want to be like that
But hey wouldn’t you want to fit it
After all the disrespecting to be let in
How would you feel?
Yeah you up there
How would you feel?
To have everyone stare at you
Because you’re a bit different
So I want to do better
I have to do better
But how can I do that
When there’s no one to help me
When I’ve depended on you
To get me through
And you’ve already left me
And all they could do is stare at me
And talk about me behind my back
So I guess I could do it all on my own
I have to do it all on my own
Cause you left me all alone
