So you want to tie both my arms off and
force feed me to sharks
Just for the sake of releasing
me from a memory of when you slept
in the serpent's den
Showed me what lurks in the hearts of man
Left me alone with the consequence
Considered a bond between friends
I'm not / You're escaping
with my good name
Create so you change
all the rules of this game
How low can you go
How deep and how bold
I might have misjudged
in you my trustSo you want to spit on my face and
start to calling me names expecting me
to break down, give in, let you take the win
But I'm not ready yet to be convinced
My fear and pain have become my friends
and you vultures need me to let you in
So you want to tie both my arms off and force feed me to sharks
Just for the sake of releasing me from a memory of when you slept in the serpent's den
Showed me what lurks in the hearts of men
Left me alone with the consequence
Considered a bond between friends
I'm not/You're escaping with my good name
Create so you change all the rules of this game
How low can you go
How deep and how bold
I might have misjudged in you my trust
So you want to spit on my face and start to calling me names, expecting me to break down, give in, let you take the win
But I'm not ready yet to be convince
My fear and pain have become my friends
And your vultures need me to let you in before you can claim your victim
Serpents will lose their skin
And vultures their wings
I will be back again to claim all these things
But you want from me
What you want from me is dishonesty and prodigy
I think that it's time you leave
Find someone else for your battery
Some other fool for your majesty
Content to live through this agony
It isn't me, no it isn't me
Since I was a kiddo
I was a leader
Heard life was a beach but
Man I wanna meet her
Swimmin deeper but the grim reaper will always creep up
No ice on my bed,So I never sleep up
Flow Bolt like Usain try n keep up
Way before waving flag in the FIFA
I was a dreamer life was a gamble
Born in a casino, but god never give burdens you can't handle
Music is my ammo i'm ready for battle
Hook:
When I lose right now I'm betting all my chips
When I'm broken down I be brushing off my kicks
I'ma get somehow yeah you CAN count on this
I'm only gettin better, better better better
I'm only gettin better, better better better
I would say that I've always been a winner but
I've probably always been a sinner
Two kids and a wife couldnt' give her
What she wanted so I had to break like the winter
Summer saw me fall coldplay when I shiver
Spring back up K'naan not a quitter
And success just sex tryna get her wetter
Failing is just an excuse for me to get better
Life means love
Love means pain
Lust is just a part of it
Charges to the game
Rolling in the deep, what's a nice jeep
If you can drop the top just to park it in the rain
[Hook]
Yeah
One time for my thugs over seas and
Two time for my brother big league and
Three for yourself if you know to grow up
Is never giving up on your dreams and
Roll the dice life is a breeze
[Hook]
One time for my thugs over seas and
Two time for my brother big league and
Three for yourself if you know to grow up
Is never giving up on your dreams and
This girl didn't know what happened
When she knocked upon my door
The things you had, the life you lived
All the dreams you had before.
Your eyes were facin' your heart and soul
You know they said it all
What happened on that day back then
The moment hurt us all
Now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better.
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better.
(Yes I do)
Well the days go by and you wonder why, "is this really true?"
Your heart says "No" but your feelings show the poor baby never knew
But you and I, we knew deep down, that ain't really you
We always knew that it'd work out right and we could start anew
Now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better.
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better.
Well things ain't always what they seem
So wake up and get outta your dreams
Things ain't always what they seem so wake up!
Well things ain't always what they seem
Wake up man, you're in my dreams!
Things ain't always...
Oh now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better.
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better.
They said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
A one, two, three, four, they said you'd never get anywhere,
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
You're never gonna get anywhere
That's what they tell me
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna get anywhere
They don't care, and that's not fair!
They said you'd never get anywhere
They don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
So blinded by my own desire
I blew out our loves first fire
A part of my life has been wasted
By choosing to live recklessly
How did it come to this!?
But still your arms are wide open for me
You know I feel dirty
but you've filled your heart with my needs
My life is so broken
But you long to put me back together
How did it come to this!?
I can't stand living without you near
Better is one day in your courts
Than a thousand elsewhere
I cry out for help 'cos
I lack the strength, purpose to live
From all of the choices I'll take the only one
That can change me deep within
How did it come to this!?
only you can help me, you alone
I was enslaved by my heart
Then you broke the chains, and freed me from all my pride
And now I'd rather live at your door
get it right
my last word sins
i taste it now
omission wins
for keeping down
my better side
i still ignore
and try to hide
so get out
the easy word
will never slip
i brought it down
to take the lip
don't need to know
don't have to feel
your better side
i had to steal
your better, you die better
write down the day, expend it
work it in again, death ends it
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
You're getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand, and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
To feel your poison tongue
Your winter lips upon me
To stain the floor with our bodies nothin' could be any
Better, better, better
Baby, so close to Heaven
Do you like the way, the way I dance? I'm dancin' for you
And all I need is for you to make everythin'
Better, better, better
For if you would've dropped me on the ground
I don't know if I would bounce back or breakdown
I don't think I could feel any
Better, better, better
And all I want is just a little more
And all I need is your correction
'Cause all I have is nothin' could be and nothin' would be
Elevate my energy
Mix and match this chemistry
To find the highest point
Of an emotional rollercoaster
Up and down, round and round we go
Lord knows you deserve better
But she deserves no less than the best that you can
offer up
You deserve better
But what becomes of you when the best has left and gone
and slipped away
There she goes with hope again
It's dangerous messing around with that thing
It's delicate, it's intricate, it's bold
It's too hard to leave, but she's got a hold on me
In a world of pain and love
That's just been rusting in the rain
You could set hearts on fire
With the flame that remains
In between bittersweet and better things
You deserve better
But she deserves no less than the best that you can
offer
You deserve better
But what becomes of you when the best has left and gone
and slipped
The best has left and gone and slipped
Outside the madness come to me
Feelings are much higher underneath
I would crawl up inside you
know that I'll try to
lonely is only as lonely as we
we're only so lonely
I don't mind where you go while you're gone
You let me know if it's better
And I don't mind when you go why you're gone
and I'll leave you alone if it's better
You could stand on my shoulders for air to breathe
and I would bow to kiss the ground cause
here is where I found you
and where I'd leave you
And brighter will find you
but don't let it blind you
you can't ask forgiveness for what you don't see
and what you don't see is that
And there are angels besies you
they keep and they guide you
but your eyes are just as sad as they can be
Just when I thought that I was better
I realized that I don't know what better was
Is it.........
Better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I'd better hurry cause I need a better view of things
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
And I'm not getting any better
Cause everytime I can't remember what it's for
Is it.........
Better now than yesterday?
Better that I am this way?
I'd better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn't say
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
Love is all you ever give, but hate is just the life you live
You try your best to move along, but the pain you feel is way too strong
And you know it breaks my heart to see you this way
I'm stuck on the words that we never say
Life ain't what it always seems to be, and I know I'm missing you, you're missing me
I am trying my hardest to make things better, can we make this better?
Some people don't know how to care, there's shattered pieces everywhere
The family that you used to know, you plead to stay you wanna go
You know it breaks my heart to see you this way
I'm stuck on the words that we never say
Life ain't what it always seems to be and I know I'm missing you, you're missing me
And I am wishing, oh God, please make things better, can we make this better?
And you know, the sky just keeps on changing for you, this hope
The world just keeps on turning for you, I know we can make this better
Can we make this better?
Life ain't what it always seems to be and I know I'm missing you, you're missing me
And I am wishing, oh God, please make things better, can we make this better?
Life ain't what it always seems to be and I know I'm missing you, you're missing me
Watch me now
Watch me now
Watch me now
Watch me now
If I could I, I'd get away
Far from all this trouble I see everyday
Nobody wants to show their face
This life is like a, like a masquerade
I know You love me, I know You care
But while I?m hurting
I just need to know You?re there
Watching over me and I feel You telling me
Count it all joy, always remember
Life will get better, it?s gonna get better
No matter the weapon, it will not prosper
Things will get better, it?s gonna get better
Persecuted, pushed away
Didn?t think I?d live to see another day
Cried some tears and, and couldn?t pray
And when I tried at times I couldn?t find the words to say
But now I?m stronger because of You
Without You Jesus, I never could have made it through
Thank You for watching me
Loving me and telling me
Count it all joy, always remember
Life will get better, it?s gonna get better
No matter the weapon, it will not prosper
Things will get better, it?s gonna get better
Count it all joy, always remember
Life will get better, it?s gonna get better
No matter the weapon, it will not prosper
Things will get better, it?s gonna get better
Life sometimes may change
And nobody wants to feel pain
But it came to help you grow
That one thing you need to know
God?s in love with you
And He?ll never let you go
I can't stop now
I said, I can't stop now
I said, I can't stop now
People you gotta remember
Count it all joy, always remember
Life will get better, it?s gonna get better
No matter the weapon, it will not prosper
Things will get better, it?s gonna get better
Count it all joy, always remember
Life will get better, it?s gonna get better
No matter the weapon, it will not prosper
Things will get better, it?s gonna get better
So the next time you feel like givin' up remember
It?s gonna get better
The next time you feel like walkin' away remember
It?s gonna get better
The next time you feel like you look at your bank account remember
It?s gonna get better
The next time your child is in trouble remember
It?s gonna get better
You're talkin' about your boss just remember
It?s gonna get better
The next time you cry in the midnight hour
It?s gonna get better
Look at somebody and tell 'em it's gonna get
It?s gonna get better
I feel like [Incomprehensible]
Take my shoulder back now
Your head's too heavy for me
Please don't come around here no more
'Cos I asked you to stop
And you wouldn't
[Chorus]
I would give anything to make you better
I would give anything to point you to free
I would give anything to help you realize
I loved you 'til it killed me
So my logic wouldn't hurt you
I know you might blame me anyway
Well I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
[Chorus]
[added]
You're not helping yourself to me
I've tried all the things they told me to do
Trying to close up the wounds left open by you
And if I seem doubtful, distrusting.....I am
You said you wouldn't do it again
You said you wouldn't do it again
Anything just to try and help you see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
[I would give anything]
Time to let you go, time for you to see
[To make you better]
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
[I would give anything]
Anything just to try and help you see
[To point you....to free]
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
[I would give anything]
Time to let you go, time for you to see
[Oh, anything for you to help you realise]
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
You're not helping yourself
He'll be enough to make you cry
He'll be enough to open your eyes
To all the little things that make this world better
He'll give you love you never know
He'll give his heart only to you
And he'll make your life oh better
So when he comes to you in the middle of the night
Cause he's scared to be alone in the dark
You'll tell him everything's gonna be alright
Cause I will be your light
I will be your night
I will be that star in the sky who watches over you
You'll tell him everything you know
You'll tell him "oh the plces you'll go"
So you can be a good man and
make this world better.
You'll give him all the love you have
Even when he makes you so mad
Keep in mind, that he made your life better.
So when he comes to you and he's so confused
Because he wants to give his heart to another
You'll tell him everything's gonna be just fine
Cause I will be your light
And when the years are going by too fast
and he's growing up to be big and strong
Know his love for you will last
Even when he doesn't say it to your face
Even when you have to put him in his place
Know that he's a love that nothing in this
[Hook]
Ohh baby
They can all say what they want
Cause you make it do what it do (do what it do, do what it do, do what it do)
But you just keep living your life
And they can keep wasting time hating on you (hating on you, hating on you)
They be hating on you, hating on you, hating on you
And they get mad when you ain't
Cause that's when they lose (that's when they lose, that's when they lose)
And you got better shit to do with your time
[Verse 1]
They hating on ya because they know you bad
Must be doing something right if you got these bitches mad
She never met her pops he left when she was five
Now she 19 stripping just to pay the bills
A single parent mom know it gotta be hard
For some baby daddy never seen the kid
She searching for love & she say that it's tough
Because she dances it's hard to find a man
And between all that she still in school
Using college as a back up plan
And like pac said, keep ya head up
I know it's hard at times, you get fed up
But don't let up, gotta stay strong
But whatever you just don't give up
Don't worry bout him, just do you
Stay focused, get on your grind
Just know that you can call on me
Whenever them niggas get out of line
And see a good friend is so hard to find
Somebody who down to ride
The best is yet to come for you
Don't let nobody steal your pride
[Hook]
Ohh baby
They can all say what they want
Cause you make it do what it do (do what it do, do what it do, do what it do)
But you just keep living your life
And they can keep wasting time hating on you (hating on you, hating on you)
They be hating on you, hating on you, hating on you
And they get mad when you ain't
Cause that's when they lose (that's when they lose, that's when they lose)
And you got better shit to do with your time
[Verse 2]
You done came up, that's why everybody done changed up
You would think you worked at gold's gym
The way you done stepped your weight up
Got a new man and got a new life
Bout to become a new wife
Looking like a new woman
Feels like you been blessed twice
Done stopped dancing and graduated
All it took was a little patience
Never mind how you got here
Just know that you finally made it
I'm just living in it but it's your world
You deserve it, you worked hard, you balling' now
Got a new car, no car note, cause it's paid off (damn)
And I'm proud of ya, (proud of ya) you came a long way
And if you need some inspiration
Just let this song play
Because a good friend is so hard to find
Somebody who down to ride
The best is yet to come for you
Don't let nobody steal your pride
[Hook]
Ohh baby
They can all say what they want
Cause you make it do what it do (do what it do, do what it do, do what it do)
But you just keep living your life
And they can keep wasting time hating on you (hating on you, hating on you)
They be hating on you, hating on you, hating on you
And they get mad when you ain't
Cause that's when they lose (that's when they lose, that's when they lose)
And you got better shit to do with your time
[Verse 3]
Ay fuck these bitches, let 'em hate

Fuck these bitches, let 'em hate
That's why they hating girl, you winning

[Hook]

But you just keep living your life
And they can keep wasting time hating on you (hating on you, hating on you)
They be hating on you, hating on you, hating on you
And they get mad when you ain't
Cause that's when they lose (that's when they lose, that's when they lose)
[First (only) Verse:]
I'm a nigga from the third with a helluva nerve,
And if you cross my line then you will get served,
I win, lose, or die this happens everyday,
Muthafuckas get killed in this game I play
I put these hands on a nigga cuz he talk too much,
He told my business to a bitch, I had to fuck him up
When I confronted this nigga, he got highly upset,
Took off his shirt, booted up, then looked down to my chest,
So I slammed his ass, the nigga started to kick,
I went to stompin' in his face, fuckin' up his shit,
Gave him a good ass whippin', then I started to steppin',
I saw him reachin' in his pants, I seen he was stressin',
The niggas was stuntin', but I had mine,
Five times through the chest, family outside cryin',
On the way back home, I saw this sharp ass lady,
Polo down, hair fixed, and some gold earrings,
I asked just where she's headed, she said '7th Ward',
Release the fine bitch out the St. Bernard,
She hopped in the ride, I take the hoe to Popeye's,
Got a three piece white, cold drink, and small fries
The hoe got full, we went to the Rochambeaux,
Took off her clothes and bust three nuts and after that I was through,
Took her halfway home and told the bitch 'Get on',
Didn't give a fuck about her cuz I gave her the bone,
Everyday somebody else will get, hung by the gaffler,
Niggas roll down the ave., cuz I'm the neighborhood amp,
Fuckin' around with the Juvenile and you get your brains blown out,
Cuz that's what livin' all up the project is all about
Those things you thought that were obscene
Will quickly become your routine
And he invited you over
An addict quickly gets indressed
With something ot get off her chest
You made a trade 'cause you're sober
And it stings to remind you
Of all that's behind you
But i don't want to lose you right now...
'cause they say it gets better before it gets worse
You know it gets better, so of course it gets worse
Your body's made of dollar bills
You'd spend them all on some cheap thrill
But what when you're older?
You stuck a point into your arm
But did you contemplate the harm?
As it moved up your shoulder...
Did it make you feel better
Right before it got worse
I used to make you feel better
But now it just hurts...
And there's no hope 'cause i'm in love with you
I cannot cope; guess i'm addicted too
You keep on coming over me
I keep on crying over you
It shows me what it's come to be
It shows me what i mean to you
'cause you're killing me......
And after all you would think
It's my fault when all in all i know is that you're killing me!
I've been watching you
From across the room
As it appears to me, you're lonely.
Did you just lose your girl?
I thought I'd walk on over to you.
See if you would smile.
Well, I've only tried
To make you feel better.
Feel better...
I have never felt
What I feel for you
Would I feel as though I know you
And had to tell you so?
Now you know what brought me to you
See if you would smile.
Well, I've only tried
To make you feel better.
Feel better...
You don't have to tell me now
If someone's on your mind.
It really doesn't matter much to me.
If you'd like to spend some time
Spend some time with me.
Let me keep you company...
Feel better...
Feel better...
I have never felt
What I feel for you
Would I feel as though I know you
And had to tell you so?
Now you know what brought me to you
See if you would smile.
Well, I've only tried
To make you feel better.
You don't have to tell me now
If someone's on your mind.
It really doesn't matter much to me.
If you'd like to spend some time
Spend some time with me.
Let me keep you company...
Feel better...
Feel better...
Feel better...
Feel better... Better...
Feel better... Better, better, better...
Feel better... Better, better, better...
Feel better... Better, better, better...
Professor Bhaer
Spoken: Miss March, I spoke my mind,
as you spoke yours. Obviously, it was
not appreciated on either side.
Jo
Spoken: Obvioulsy! My stories were a great success in Concord.
Better?
Better than what?
Better than this dazzling plot?
Better?
This story will be my 'King Lear.'
Each phrase is better.
Better than him.
Better! Even my smallest whim
Is better!
How can he miss what's so clear?
How can I do better than what's
Already here?
How can what he said to me be true?
If I don't succeed, what will I do?
Turn around, go back to Concord?
Leave New York behind
Unconquered? No!
How dare he make me doubt
The way I feel?
Dobt that each thrilling page
Is who i am?
Aren't these words alive
With passion,
Vivid as my attic where it all began?
Amy
Spoken: Jo! Jo, the girls at school were horrible to me! Charlotte Fenton
said my dress is ragged and my
nose is flat!
Meg
Spoken: Jo, I hate being a governess. I should
be meeting eligible young men.
Amy
Spoken: It's going to be a dismal Christmas:
what with Father away and no money
for presents.
Beth
Spoken: Meg, Amy- Jo has a surprise for us.
Jo
Or was I better, better when
I was home?

Still didn't know what happened
When you knocked upon my door
The things you had, the life you lived
All the dreams you had before
Your eyes were facin' your heart and soul
You know they said it all
What happened on that day back then
The moment hurt us all
Now you can see the reason
Why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them
Or try hard to save your name
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
(Everybody now)
Well, the days go by and you wonder why
Is this really true?
Your heart says no but your feelings show
The poor baby never knew
But you and I, we knew deep down
That ain't really you
We always knew that it'd work out right
And we could start a new
Now you can see the reason
Why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them
Or try hard to save your name
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
Well, things ain't always what they seem
So wake up and get outta your dreams
Things ain't always what they seem so wake up
Well, things ain't always what they seem
Wake up, man, you're in my dreams
Things ain't always
Oh, now you can see the reason
Why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them
Or try hard
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know and I know better
A one, two, three, four
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
You're never gonna get anywhere
That's what they tell me
Never, never, never, never, never
Never, never gonna get anywhere
They don't care and that's not fair
They said you'd never get anywhere
They don't care and it's just not fair
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
Was heal the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now
For had I known
Or I'd been shown
Back when how long it'd take me
To break the charms
That brought me harm
And all but would erase me
I never won
Or thought I could
No matter what you'd pay me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew
Was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and maybe
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
So bittersweet
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody
Inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of faith
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark
For my determination
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
I never wanted you to be so full of anger (anger)
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
(cont. thru verse)
If I were you
I'd manage to
Avoid the invitation
Of promised love
That can't keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won't regret
This kind of aggravation
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
Take me to heaven one more time
The deeper I fall into your eyes
Takes me to heaven
(3 times)
Takes me to heaven
(7 times)
Better
Ooh better
(16 times)
Better
Take me to heaven one more time
The deeper I fall into your eyes
Our love has changed, it's not the same
And the only way to say it is say it, it's better
I can't conceal this way I feel
For all the times we spend together
Forever just gets better
Seem what I'm try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it's better
I stand by you if you stand by me
I think it's time that I reveal it
'Cause I believe it, it's better
Seem what I'm try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
If you're here it's better
Oh, the more I talk to you
I'm falling in love with everything you do, oh
Seem what I'm try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it's better
Our love has changed, it's not the same
there's no sense waiting in this state
i've realized too late
there's only so much left inside
only so much space to hide
i've dreamed of castles in the air
but i've never found out where
i need a break or a vacation
before i give myself a scare
don't try to understand me your logic won't command me
don't try to read between my mind
if i could kill you with a touch
i'd never hate this much
one thousand colors every day
but all i see is grey
my history is plagiarized
i feel desensitized
maybe one more shot of reason
will ripple this disguise
i told that man just what i thought of him
so i'm right where i am tied to this bed
subconsciously restrained and now i wish i hadn't said
what i said to both of my parents because i made my mother cry
if they'd only wait i'll make it up to them because i can be a better man
i'm floating in a frozen sea
i'll watch the morning break
giving way to shades of brown
i see the colors all around
for once there's no one here but me
and my autumn reverie
and in my heart i know
You spend you life just thinking of how bad it could be
But life gets tough so you close your eyes so you don't have to see
I don't think we recognize where our intentions seem to lead
So stop your tears of self-mutilation 'cause everything you got was free
MY FRIEND
I know a better way we can change today
Don't take your life for granted because it get worse here everyday
Our lives are constantly connected in ways we'll never know
But we're taught to lie, hide behind the lines before the feelings start to grow
So live your life here as my friend or as my foe
'Cause I got no room for self-centered motherfuckers
If that's you you've got to go
MY FRIEND
I know a better way we can change today
Don't take your life for granted because it get worse here everyday
We've got to learn to react
No longer can we hide the facts
We've got to learn to react
Take a look at the hidden tracks
I know a better way we can change today
World, where I am drowning I sink so slow
The under tow
Dragging me down just like all my fears
Trying so hard not to disappear
There's nothing clear
Want something to believe in
Nearly crushed my soul (my soul)
Nearly lost control (control)
I knew I had to find some peace of mind on my own
This is the start (oo-oo-oooooo-oo...)
No falling apart (oo-oo-oooooo-oo...)
You have to look it in the face
And recognize it's you that makes you
Right from the start (oo-oo-oooooo-oo...)
Hand in the heart (oo-oo-oooooo-oo...)
You have to look it in the face
And recognize it's you that makes you
Stronger in every way
Each day a brand new play
I never hear you say I won't believe tomorrow
In dark there's no believing
You're only left with fear
Talk me out of right from wrong
Make me sing a different song
No time to hide, I'll move on...
Nearly crushed my soul (my soul)
Then I found a goal (a goal)
I knew I had to find some peace of mind on my own
Now I know (uh-uuuhh)
Cause now I know I'm right (uh-uuuhh)
You could be here with me (uh-uuuhh)
Our love has changed,
Its not the same,
And the only way to say it
Is say it Its better.
I cant concede,
This way I feel,
For all the time we spent, together,
Forever Just gets better .

Keep a pace and watch you run

I remember why I'm still here
All I need is all right here
I know I only say I love you when I've made you cry
But I need you to be mine and I could be so much
Better, better, better.....
Do you remember when I said
I said things could be clearer how I feel and
How I need you in this life
Can you stay here and not look back
I need another chance
Whenever the light hits you
I forget what I'm goin' through

I should be number one in your life
I can't understand why
Cause through all the fussin and fightin, baby, I'm here

You shouldn't be with him, no way, no way
Cause the pain that he's causing you
Is weighing heavy on me here

Steady blaming yourself for his wrong
Tryna wipe away your tears with a sad song
See, baby I know it hurts
But promise you, it'll work

But you'll feel better when you're gone
Let me be the one for you

Things got better when you left
Your friends always say that
But I think you better check
Your leaving member contract
You don't get to say
You don't get to say goodbye
And I don't want to be the one
But I could try
Things got better when you left
I hang my hat upon it
People say I'm somewhere else
What's so sad about it?
Even though it means
Even though it means goodbye
And I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one
But I could try
You're not talking
And I'm not talking
The dog's not talking
And no one is talking at all
When you're home
No bark in the street
No bark in the yard
No bark in the house
Next bark is a sound of my own
War for peace
Things got better when you left
So tell your friends about it
I'll just sing it to myself
'Till I can live without it
Even though it means
Even though it means goodbye
And I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one
I wish they made pills to cure this disease
that's slowly killing me
i try to keep it together
The days are so cold and nothing comes easy
it's a strugle that that leads the way
but still i keep it together
The walk is blind
and life itself is so complicated
lets take the time
to look within ourselves for answers
Tell me now, tell me now
everything will be alright
show me how, it can get better
Tell me now, tell me now
everything will be alright
show me how, it can get better
I know that this it kills you everyday
livin' with the pain
but still Ikeep it together
Did that seem hard, and so unforgiving
like a death-defying dream
you could keep it together
The walk is blind
and life itself is so complicated
lets take the time
to look within ourselves for answers
Tell me now, tell me now
everything will be alright
show me how, it can get better
Tell me now, tell me now
everything will be alright
show me how, it can get better
Love it or leave it, look at yourself
like I'm livin' alone or with someone else
when you look in the mirror what do see?
Am I losing my mind or is it me
Is it me?
Tell me now, tell me now
everything will be alright
show me how, it can get better
Tell me now, yeah tell me now
it can get better
it can get better
If you loved me any better
I wouldn’t get a damn thing done
I’d spend each day with you in wonder
At what makes me the lucky one
If you loved me any better, baby
I’d take chances at the wheel
Cause knowing love’s the thing that matters (most in the world)
Would make the rest seem so surreal
CHORUS:
But no, don’t you try to love me any better than you do, no no
You’re doing everything just right
Don’t know if I can love you better than I do
But I’m gonna try . . . try
If you loved me any better
I’d forget to eat or sleep
But still my heart would pitter patter (like a top, baby)
You’re meeting all my basic needs
Chorus
Solo
Two fires, they’re breathing
running out of air
two hearts, they’re beating
feeding this affair
it’s too far for a clean escape
demons on my sleeve—
they’re not what you expected
when I asked you to believe
For you, for me
make me a better man
for you, oh please
make me a better man
With your eyes on my secrets,
God knows what you’ll see
there’s so much to my story,
but you’re the perfect ending
I haven’t found what you’re looking for
I haven’t found what you need
but don’t think what you’re after is
more than I can be
For you, for me
make me a better man
for you, oh please
In the corner of my room
There's a pile of things
That still belong to you
I won't get them back
But here tonight
I'll go through one by one
Without a fight
CHORUS
And I don't care if a cry
It should hurt
You said goodbye
And I have the right
To drag it out and make it worse
I'm gonna take my time
'Till I wake up one morning
And I find,
That I feel better
And outside my window,
There's the moon
And it's saying don't get over you too soon
So I'll keep braking until I die
And I get it through my head
You weren't the one
Repeat Chorus
Better
'Till I look at your pictures
And run out of tears
And you're not all I'm thinking about
'Till I don't turn around
Hold my breath for the sound
Of you saying my name out loud
Oh, oh, oh
Repeat Chorus
Better
2010, Marie Hines
Spin around, spin around with your heart in your hands,
With your heart in your hands
You’re giving all you can
Hear the sound, hear the sound, hear the sound of your plans
Breaking down in your hands
You’re going this freehand
We can’t fight this
It’s our calling
We can’t turn it away
Runaway train flying past the depot
Trying hard to forget all that we know
You say we can try to make this better
Clear the tracks for this fast paced free flow
Take the turns, try to learn as we go
You say we can try to make this better
Cause people change, lives change and it’s out of your hands
Yeah it’s out of your hands
Don’t you try to understand
So make your way, Make a way
Even if it’s unplanned, unplanned,
Cause all alone, yeah, all alone we stand
(PC)
(Chorus)
We can’t go back anyway
We can’t go back anyway
We can’t go back anyway
(breakdown)
(Chorus)
Better, better, better (oh, oh, oh)
We’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it
You live inside a dream
Everything tastes so sweet
As long as it agrees with how you feel
You're dancing in your sleep
'Til all the eyes that look at me
awaken your anxieties
You're so afraid, so you try to break me, yeah
I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
You lash out at me
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me
But in the end, what leaves you broken
In the end, makes you better, yeah
Your face looks so green
When the sun is shining differently
And you're standing in the shade
'Cause face to face you're sweet
Like candy sticking to my teeth
But underneath so damaging
There is no strength in trying to break me, no
I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
You lash out at me
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me
But in the end, what leaves you broken
in the end, makes you better
Yeah, I don't want to hate
I don't want to be broken
I don't want to hate you
I don't want to hate
I don't want to be broken
I don't want to hate you
I don't want to care
and I don't want to hate
and I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
you lash out at me
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
and try to break me
But in the end, what leaves you broken
You live inside a dream
Everything tastes so sweet
As long as it agrees with how you feel
You're dancing in your sleep
'Til all the eyes that look at me
awaken your anxieties
You're so afraid, so you try to break me, yeah
I don't want to care

You lash out at me
When you say all the things that you never meant to say

But in the end, what leaves you broken
In the end, makes you better, yeah

Current Lyrics
You live inside a dream
everything taste so sweetAs long as it agrees with how you feel
Your danceing in your sleep
to all the eyes that look at me
are working your angzieties
Your so afraid, so you try to break me
I dont want to care
and I dont want to hate
And I dont want to see you fall to far away
All because of fear.
Cause when your afraid
you lash out at me
and you say all the things that you never ment to say
and try to break me
But in the end what leaves you broken
in the end it makes you better
Your face it looks so green
when the sun is shineing diffrently
and your standing in the shade
cause face to face your so sweet
like candy sticking to my teeth
but underneeth so damageing
Theres no strength in trying to break me
I dont want to care
and I dont want to hate
And I dont want to see you fall to far away
All because of fear.
Cause when your afraid
you lash out at me
and you say all the things that you never ment to say
and try to break me
But in the end what leaves you broken
Tears when we rise in the morning
Pain in the light of the day
Lies in your eyes when
you'll stalling
Gonna be ok
No one can show you what I did
Take you through the stars in the rain
There is a hole in the a soul that you've
opened
You'll never feel again
Don’t you know I’m better than him
But I can see you've
been lonely without me
Can’t you see he’s nothing like me
Cos I can see
you've been lonely
While you were sleeping in my bed
Holding me like I was your man
Someone else was playing in your head
I never understand
Don’t you know I’m better then him
Cos I can see you've
been lonely without me
Can’t you see
he's nothing like me
Or is this just what I wanted to believe
There is the smile here waiting for you
Cos I can see you've
been lonely
So maybe
I'll decide
Just let you run and hide
Then you could look of his face in the morning
I hope you're
happy now
You sacrificial cow
Cos I’m not going to wait for you
Don’t you know I’m better then him
But I can see you've been lonely without me
Can’t you see he's nothing like
Or is this just what I wanted to believe
There is the smile here waiting for you
And I know you’ll do what you must do
Don’t you know I’m better than him
Where did we go?
When was the moment that we broke in two?
I think I know
In fact I am sure I can blame it on you
I remember the first big surprise
The day you came home with your infrared eyes
I looked inside them, but all I could see
Were tiny reflections of me
But it’s not me it’s you, what you’re turning into
Is some kind of something that I never knew
You used to be OK and I liked you that way
But I don’t think that I like you better
No I don’t think that I like you better
You started out small
Some gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs
Now you’re thirteen feet tall
Even when you’re asleep your machinery hums
And I’m tired of the evenings I spend
Making small talk with your new robot friends
And their stupid insistence on scanning my iris
When they know damn well who I am
And you look like the victim of a surgical crime
A little Darth Vader, a little Optimus Prime
You used to be OK and I liked you that way
But I don’t think that I like you better
No I don’t think that I like you better
So that’s how it goes
Snap your mandibles once to say you understand
Now hold me close
Wait, now that’s too close, you’re crushing my hand
I can tell by that shrieking alarm
That your weapons systems are active and armed
Do me a favor and power them down
Just so we don’t have a scene
And I wish it were different, but we’re just not the
same
At least we got someone we know we can blame
You used to be OK and I liked you that way
But I don’t think that I like you better
In the corner of my room
there's a pile of things
that still belong to you
I wont get them back
but here tonight
I'll go through one by one
without a fight
~chorus~
And I don't care if a cry
It should hurt
you said goodbye
and I have the right
to drag it out and make it worse
I'm gonna take my time
Till I wake up one morning
and I find,
that I feel better
And outside my window,
there's the moon
and it's saying don't get over you too soon
so I'll keep braking until I die
and I get it through my head
you weren't the one
~chorus~
Better
Till I look at your pictures
and run out of tears
and you're not all I'm thinking about
Till I don't turn around
hold my breath for the sound
of you saying my name out loud
ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhohh
~chorus~
For all my downfalls
I'm better...
For all my let downs
I'm better, I'm
Thinking of ghosts
And dreaming of UFOs
Living in big houses
With ivy covered walls
For all my downfalls
I'm better...
For all my let downs
I'm better, I'm
Thinking of ghosts
And dreaming of you and I
Living in big houses
And laughing all the time
It's time now
For all my downfalls
I'm better
For all my let downs
They lead to you I realize
Your world is what I've waited for
It's clear,
The universe is right here
For all my downfalls
I'm better...
For all your let downs
I'm better...
Oh, where do you go
When you need love
Where do you run
Who do you trust
There's no need complaining
It's just noise 'cause
Better
It all started from a boy with big plans, to change the
world with anything put in his hand he tired of momma
working days and nights to provide plus the person
should be doing it aint even by his side but he wanna
show her the world, and see new places coast after
coast and hit the strip with big faces meets some big
faces then hit some more places moving so fast got em
ckeckin on they laces but were he from everbody think
he gassin but his minds on electric so I doubt that its
effective trapped in a world full of kids so selective
but his in mind years a head so inside its protected
but he want the life of jets chartered over seas but
they try to bring him down until he concord threw the
trees switchin up the needs now he aimin to receive
plus he just started got some more up in his sleeve its

they thought the drove em out but the kid aint leavin
they thought they took him down but the kid still

knees in cause he's driven like a boss top floor 4
season penthouse for the evenin shitchin lanes through
a game called life and everything on me to the end of
the light let's go
Chorus -- Keep grindin cuz it all gets better, through
the tough threw the rough threw the weather, that's why
I'm spittin this letter, the sun gon shine but only if

wire and inspired to the next run
Chorus -- Keep grindin cuz it all gets better, through
the tough threw the rough threw the weather, that's why
I'm spittin this letter, the sun gon shine but only if
Did you see me fall away?
At what point did fate crumble to the ground?
I thought I found something to last forever.
Holding on with desperate tears,
I was screaming but you could not seem to hear me cry and now, I surrender.
Broken pieces all around
Better think of something fast.
Better off leaving with these last times
So you’ll keep remembering me.
Better take a look at what you had
Better figure out something the next time
When you keep remembering me forever. Remember me forever
Tell me was it good for you?
Cause its what kept me glued to what I knew all along was going in the wrong direction.
I don’t think I gave up too early.
I don’t think life is long enough to go and waste it all on imperfection
Broken pieces all around
Better think of something fast
Better off leaving with these last times
So you’ll keep remembering me
Better take a look at what you had
Better figure out something the next time
When you’re still remembering me forever. Remember me forever
Running on empty always
I swim to the surface always
But the truth is always hard to take
In broken pieces
Better think of something fast
Better off leaving with these last times
So you’ll keep remembering me
Better take a look at what you had
Better figure out something the next time
When you keep remembering me forever. Remember me forever.
They make the roads and telephones
And shrink the planet down
Mass dispersal universal information now
We're overdosed for all we know
On all the facts we found
Addicted to the ever-new
The old excitement drowned
Now this one's better
It's so much better
With fear and hate they generate
Divisions in the sand
Whose side you on?
Who's right or wrong?
That's how it's all been planned
It seems that lies get justified
When it's all we ever hear
The facts come out in a cloud of doubt
And then they disappear
Cos now it's better
Yeah so much better
Now it's better
So much better
Divide and rule and watch us all
Divide ourselves again
We replicate the fear and hate
It keeps us entertained
They don't exist it's just a twisted
Phrase I'm going through
Apparently it's you and me
Let's see if we can do any better
Let's see if we can do any better
You may
We hidden of right the way[? ]
It didn't take long to say
You're the one were togeter
Here we are the chemistry still the same
You said that you wouldn't change
You were right you will never
[Chorus:]
Now it's not the way you threat me
Cause you do that perfectly
You always bin my bestfriend
And I hope you always be
Now I know I don't deserv you
And I probably never do
I promise you forever
Forever is what I ment
It's better
Here you now
I swear I didn't know
How far it was gonna go
One thing let to another[? ]
It's still doesn't change
I hope that you mean to me
You all I should ever need
You been there like no other
[Chorus:]
Now it's not the way you threat me
Cause you do that perfectly
You always bin my bestfriend
And I hope you always be
Now I know I don't deserv you
And I probably never do
I promise you forever
Forever is what I ment
It's better
From the first day that he walks by
I knew it was only a matter of time
Now I can't help
He's on my mind[? ]
And hes so much better
I don't have to think all of the things [? ]
[? ]
But I choose him over you tonight
[Chorus:]
Now it's not the way you threat me
Cause you do that perfectly
You always bin my bestfriend
And I hope you always be
Now I know I don't deserv you
And I probably never do
I promise you forever
Forever is what I ment
