Gets Better

I don't want to out to see my friends tonight

Drinking just to feel alright

And I don't want to pick up the phone and have to lie

Tell my mom I'm doing fine

Oooh

They will never understand why I am the way I am

'Cause I, I don't even know what's going on inside

What the hell is peace of mind?

They say it gets better

Damn it's taking forever, I know

These days should be treasured

But I don't want to remember at all

I feel like I've done my time

Still don't see the end in sight

But they say it gets better

I can't think of the last time that I went to sleep without anxiety

And I kind of miss the days I could go out to eat

Without crying over calories

Oooh

I just want to understand why I am the way I am

Oooh, oh

Acting like an optimist telling myself I'm convinced

When they say it gets better

Damn it's taking forever, I know

These days should be treasured

But I don't want to remember at all

I feel like I've done my time

I still don't see the end in sight

But they say it gets better

Oooh, oh

Everything I feel right now get's figured out

Oooh, oh

Or do I learn to live with it?

Is that what works for everyone else?

When they say it gets better

Damn it's taking forever, I know

These days should be treasured

But I don't want to remember at all

I'm showing all the warning signs

And I don't want to lose my mind

Before it gets better

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

They say it gets better
