Better

Mmm, mmm, mmm
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
There's a misconception
That temptation won't affect us
At all, at all, at all
But just like anyone else
If I let it get my heart
I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall
And I can't act like I don't know how
Yeah, I beat myself up about it now
But tomorrow I'll just do better, better, better
Better, better, better
And keep on moving closer, closer, closer
You know that all is forgiven because he'll help you to do better
Yeah, see we all have fallen
But you can't stay on the ground
For long, for long, for long
'Cause after awhile
You'll start thinking that recovery's not an option
And you're wrong, you're wrong, so wrong
Yeah, and you can't undo what you did now
So take a clean slate that grace allows
And tomorrow just do better, better, better
Better, better, better
Keep on moving closer, closer, closer, yeah
You know that all is forgiven because he'll help you to do better
I will do better
It own't hurt to be a little stronger
Long as we're together
After awhile I'll notice something different
And it started when I decided to do better
So tomorrow I'll just do better, better, better
Tomorrow I'll just do better, better, better
Keep on moving closer, closer, closer
Yeah, you know that all is forgiven because he'll help you to do
Better, better, better
So tomorrow I'll just do better, better, better
And keep on moving closer, closer, closer
You know that all is forgiven because he'll help you to do better
