Lyrics

The Better Me

How many times have I said I was gonna be someone
When I get back onto my feet?
Tomorrow, I'm gonna make changes
'Cause today I can barely speak
Hit 'em with the riff
Woo

I been burned by it, concerned 'bout it
I can't stay my hand
Side effects of it have been soul crushin'
This wasn't part of my plan

I don't wanna suffer
Trying to lie and I try to recover
But I'm back in the gutter
Banking on the same things

How many times have I said I was gonna be someone
When I get back onto my feet?
Tomorrow, I'm gonna make changes
'Cause today I can barely speak
I know how to pull myself out
And it's gonna hurt like Hell to set myself free
Just say it out loud, today's the day I stop fucking around
And be the better me
(And be the better me, oh)

I'm so done with it, and I'll run with it
As long as I can
I'm shutting down with one foot in the ground
And I got no confidence left

Don't need one another
Testify that it's time to recover
I won't die in the gutter
Cold, alone, and unseen

How many times have I said I was gonna be someone
When I get back onto my feet?
Tomorrow, I'm gonna make changes
'Cause today I can barely speak
I know how to pull myself out
And it's gonna hurt like Hell to set myself free
Just say it out loud, today's the day I stop fucking around
And be the better me
Woo

How many times have I said I was gonna be someone?
(I was gonna be someone)
How many times have I said I was gonna be someone?
(I was gonna be someone)

How many times have I said I was gonna be someone
When I get back onto my feet?
Tomorrow, I'm gonna make changes
'Cause today I can barely speak
I know how to pull myself out
And it's gonna hurt like Hell to set myself free
Just say it out loud, today's the day I stop fucking around
And be the better me

Stop fucking around
And be the better me
Stop fucking around
And be the better me
