A Better Me

[Verse 1] Somehow I find myself On the highest shelf With all the broken toys Making all the broken noise I look around and see Everybody else but me Is sweet and shine Everything is fine [Pre-Chorus] Everybody else Got the money and the game Got the juice, got the power Got the sparkle and the fame Everybody else They seem to know their name Won't somebody tell me, who am I? [Chorus] I've been in the cities I've been running down the streets I've been in the shadows I've been in between the sheets I've been looking for a better me [Verse 2] How can I express When my life is such a mess? It's crash and burn Every single thing I learn I look around and see Everybody else but me Has all the class Magic in the looking glass [Pre-Chorus] Everybody else Got the money and the game They got the juice, got the power Got the sparkle and the fame Everybody else They seem to know their name Won't somebody tell me who am I? [Chorus] I've been in the cities I've been running down the streets I've been in the shadows I've been in between the sheets I've been looking for a better me [Bridge] The hurt and the pain will be my guide With everything that I've tried to hide I'm gonna rise up filled with pride This better me is deep inside [Chorus] I've been in the cities I've been running down the streets I've been in the shadows I've been in between the sheets I've been looking for a better me I've been in the cities I've been running down the streets I've been in the shadows I've been in between the sheets I've been looking for a better me [Outro] The hurt and the pain will be my guide This better me is deep inside This better me is deep inside This better me is deep inside This better me, a better me
