lyrics

Better Off

People try and people fail,
It’s all a part of trying.
Some give up and some succeed,
It’s all a part of believing.
And none of this time has been a waste of time.
And I appreciate the efforts all put forth.
And all the enemies they subside.
As I gather all my things and call it a day.

I’ve come to believe there’s a greater part of me.
Despite what shadow’s say,
I know who I really am.
I’ll keep myself safe and I’ll quiet all my mistakes.

Better now,
Better off,
Better than I was.

Better now,
Better off,
Better than I was.

Played up and bankrupt,
It’s all a part of dying.
An optimist would disagree.
These are the things that make us stronger.
But none of this time has been a waste of time.
And I appreciate the efforts all put forth.
And all the enemies, they subside.
As I gather all my things and call it a day.

I’ve come to believe,
There’s a greater part of me,
That walks this life in perfect harmony.
When all else fails, I’ll know which way to go.
I’ll know to avoid that same old filthy road.

Better now,
Better off,
Better than I was.

Better now,
Better off,
Better than I was.

Better now,
Better off,
Better than I was.

People try and people fail,
It’ll all a part of trying.
