I'm Better Lyrics

My hair was a shield, my fists were always bleeding

Vice after vice, happiness was fleeting

My friends didn't like me, though they tried and they tried

But with so much self-destruction and fight after fight

They began to realize I needed time

I was so desperate, I was so alone

I was getting jumped and I was getting stoned

But I'm better now, I'm better now

I look back at those memories and I begin to wince

But I can't hate myself too much, I was just a kid

If only I could tell him where he would be today

Maybe he wouldn't be sad, maybe he'd want to stay

But I'm better now, I'm better now

I'm better now, I'm better now

I look back at those most influential years

I look at all the changes, I look at my peers

I begin to wonder how I made it this far

All of that work, it was so hard

But I'm better now, I'm better now

I'm better now, I'm better now
