Better Lyrics

Working on her coffee

Daughter comes up to me

Asks me what I like about this place

I've got seven orders to make

But Instead I take a break to contemplate

While I pour the milk

She waits patiently

The adult talks loudly

At sixteen, stopped eating

To fit your plate

She looks about eight

Maybe It's not too late

To leave the phone off the hook

Before she's the bait

You seem like someone I knew

Am I the image reflecting off you?

You seem like someone I've seen

Well, we are not what we thought we'd be.

We're better.

I feel her wide eyes

Calling onto mine

Catching hers before she breaks

For not catching it

Soon her shade's not as red

and her tears are not as fed

It dropped on the floor

And I said: I'd love to make you more

You seem like someone I knew

Am I the image reflecting off you?

You seem like someone I've seen

Well, we are not what we thought we'd be

We're better

We're better

We're better

Much better

Nobody is mad at you for trying your best,

Everything you touch is not ruined, no, it's blessed, it's

Better.
