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
