It Gets Better

There's paper peeling off the walls I see the paint from yesteryear We try to cover up the past But tiny secrets still appear So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time The kitchen floor's a checkered board We've tried to end this game for years The tiles are cracked, the colour's changed The battleground is all but cleared So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time Caught in the cobwebs Memories linger in these rooms Under the floorboards Sweeping the stories we outgrew It's not a place to call home Just a place we've been for years The garden weeds have overgrown We've overstayed our welcome here So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time It gets better, it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time
