Better by Now

Oh, I still don't let my close ones close to me And my hand still shakes 'til it pours itself a drink I still let these ghosts get the best and the most of me And the best I can do still ain't good enough for me So wake me up, sit me down Give me a reason not to burn this town 'Cause them voices in the dark have been getting loud Give me a shelter from the rain Tell me I'm worth more than my pain Thought I'd be somebody new this time around Or at least be better by now Better by now Better by now I still draw my blood when I don't find the words to speak I still ask for grace from a god I don't believe I still hold my tongue even though it's killing me I still tell myself it's the way it's supposed, it's the way it's supposed to be So wake me up, sit me down Give me a reason not to burn this town 'Cause them voices in the dark have been getting loud Give me a shelter from the rain Tell me I'm worth more than my pain Thought I'd be somebody new this time around Or at least be better by now Better by now Better by now And these voices And these choices They both weigh me, weigh me Weigh me down So wake me up, sit me down Give me a reason not to burn this town 'Cause them voices in the dark have been getting loud Give me shelter from the rain Tell me I'm worth more than my pain Thought I'd be somebody new this time around Or at least be better by now Better by now Better by now
