lyrics

INTRO
I swear to God I will be better for you
I’m sorry for all that I’ve put you through
Just know that this has always been for you
And I will be better
For you

VERSE 1
Promises that I'll be better
Never make it very far
Optimism with no truth
You just can't change who you are
And I know you’re sick and tired of
All my lies
So am I, but this guilt won’t last cause
It’s the last time
Believe me
It’s the last time
Cause

CHORUS
Cause I’m better than I was yesterday
And I’ll be even better tomorrow
If only you could see
What’s become of me
I promised you
And this time it’s true
I’m gonna be better for you

VERSE 2
Plans of intention with no action
Become cyclical
One step forward, three steps back
It’s habitual
These empty words I carry weigh so heavy on my chest
But I mean it when I say one day I'll be at my best
Cause you know I’m better than I was yesterday
Cause you know I’m better than I was

CHORUS
Cause I’m better than I was yesterday
And I’ll be even better tomorrow
If only you could see
What’s become of me

BRIDGE
I don’t know if you’re listening
Or if you even hear me
But I’m still talking in the hopes that you can clear me
And if I were to ask you
Would you help to steer me?
Remind me what it’s like to feel peace
Tomorrow will be different

CHORUS
Cause I’m better than I was yesterday
And I’ll be even better tomorrow
If only you could see
What’s become of me

OUTRO
And I know I say this time and time again but I swear to God I’ll be better for you, my friend
