Better by Now

It's a little sad

Throwing the Christmas tree

Out with the trash

I never was good at saying goodbye

But now we're here

Facing down another year

Another false start at the finish line

I really wanted to believe it, somehow

I really wanted it to be, better by now

I really wanted to believe it, somehow

I really wanted it to be, better by now

Better by now

The last year took

A whole lot of life out of us

Part of me didn't even really mind

I stay at home

Watch your face on the telephone

Try to get ahead but I'm falling behind

I really wanted to believe it, somehow

I really wanted it to be, better by now

I really wanted to believe it, somehow

I really wanted it to be, better by now

Better by now

Better by now

I really wanted to believe it, somehow

I really wanted it to be, better by now

I really wanted to believe it, somehow

I really wanted it to be, better by now

Better by now

Better by now
