It Gets Better

This paper peeling off the walls

I see the paint from yesterday

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 every time

I'm not better, we're not better, even after all this time.

Ohhhh

The kitchen floor is of jacketboard

We tried at any scheme for years

The toars are crowed

The colour's changed

The battleground is overcleared

So please don't say it gets better,

It gets better, it gets better every time

I'm not better, we're not better, even after all this time.

Ohhhh

Under the floorboards

Memories linger

Sleeping storie we outgrew

Its not a place we called home

Just a place we.ve been for years

The garden weeds have overgrown

We've overstayed our welcome here
