Better Lyrics

Ain't that the way of the world… that we live in now

High five when you fly… kick you when you’re down

A pat on the back might as well be a knife

The haters trying to knock you off the wave while you’re riding your highest high

Hoping that the smoke blowing gets to you

Can’t let the worst of them get the best of you…

You can be bitter like a pill that you can’t quite swallow

Bitter like the cold wind in Chicago

Bitter like a coffee, no sugar no creamer

Bitter like collard greens before you steam ‘em

You can drag your grey cloud… all over this town

Or you make a change as tiny as one little letter

You can be bitter… oh, oh, or you can be better… better… better, now

A heart’s made of glass… and it’s gonna break

The more that you give… the more they’re gonna take

The more that you laugh… when you wanna cry

The sweeter the taste and the smile on your face when you’re taking a bite

Cuz life’s a piece of cake when you realize…

You can be bitter like a pill that you can’t quite swallow

Bitter like the cold wind in Chicago

Bitter like a coffee, no sugar no creamer

Bitter like collard greens before you steam ‘em

You can drag your grey cloud… all over this town

Or you make a change as tiny as one little letter

You can be bitter… oh, oh, or you can be better… better… better, now

You can be better than you ever thought you could be

Better than the weather on Waikiki

Better than sliced bread, better than a hung head

Better than you’ve ever been

You can drag your grey cloud… all over this town

Or you make a change as tiny as one little letter

You can be bitter… oh, oh, or you can be better… better… better, now
