Better Than I Am

[Intro]

Hmm, hmm

[Verse 1]

Am I swimmin'

To keep from drownin'?

Am I runnin'

Runnin' to or runnin' from?

Have I used you?

If I'm honest, maybe sometimes

And though my past is far behind me

It's still not as far as I want

[Chorus]

But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet

And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me

I will stand in the light, least as best I can

And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am

Better than I am

[Verse 2]

It's more a truce (Hmm)

Less a surrender

It's more a givin'

I'm givin' more than I wanna give (Yes)

[Chorus]

I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet

And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me

I will stand in the light, least as best I can

And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am

[Bridge]

The road I took to get here

Is one I never wanna take again

Oh, I'm gonna keep believing

And pushin' up to the light

The light that pulls me in

[Chorus]

I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet

And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me

I will stand in the light, least as best I can

And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am

[Outro]

Oh, yeah

Hmm
