lyrics

You don't have to apologize
I'm old enough to empathize
How did they get things so wrong?
They'll still say that when I am gone.

You never had to fight a war
I didn't have to grow up poor
You didn't drink and I'm so grateful
But I take pills to keep me stable

I appreciate the good things that I got
But we both know
This is not where it should stop
I know very well,
When you grew up it was hell
But you did your best
And where you messed up
I will try so hard to do it

Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)
Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)
Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)
Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)

I wish you wouldn’t make believe
But I don't have to make you see
I know you think that silence is best
But this can’t wait until you’re dead

I never raised my mother’s child
You never had your dreams run wild
I’m still alive because you helped
Now you need to help yourself

I appreciate the good things that I got
But we both know
This is not where it should stop
I know very well,
When you grew up it was hell
But you did your best
And where you messed up
I will try so hard to do it

Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)
Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)
Better, better, better, better
(Better ‘cause of you I think I
Know what I can do to make it)
Better, better, better, better (x4)
