Better Than Ever

[Chorus]
There were days when I wanted to die
Call my family and say goodbye
Close the book and burn it away
God never listens when I pray
I've reviewed my life and found my error
I'm glad to say I'm better than ever!

[Verse 1]
Nothing is perfect, the truth really hurts
But telling lies would be much worse
People can hate you and you'll have no clue
My life was so broken it was held by glue
Even then, I felt so broken
Actions can hurt with no word spoken
No matter what you'll be hated for what you do
Despite all that, these obstacles can be pushed through
Life isn't easy, that's the hardest part
I trudged the halls with a broken heart
I was used for greed then thrown away
All the drama led me astray
My veins were boiling with rage
Why is it so hard to turn the page?
My mind was racing like Daytona
I had to put on a fake persona
I was once a laughingstock
The haters were watching me like a hawk
Belittled for everything I did
My true figure was forever hid
Nobody wanted to be my friend
I was wondering when it would all end

[Chorus]
There were days when I wanted to die
Call my family and say goodbye
Close the book and burn it away
God never listens when I pray
I've reviewed my life and found my error
I'm glad to say I'm better than ever!

[Verse 2]
It all got worse before I hit rock bottom
I made mistakes, this was way too common
I lost close friends and I lost the light
Curled up for the darkest night
I thought life would get no better
It was getting terrible, should I write the letter?
All hope was gone, but I kept on fighting
Nothing will ever stop me from writing
It's not over until I win
Lord forgive me for this heavy sin
I climbed back up only to fall again
I'm not done, coming back is my intent
I can fight the fight, I can save my name
I can accept my faults and take the blame
The mask will come off and I'll be free
I'll be living the life in Hawaii
I can't erase the past, but I can write my future
Maybe this road will be a little smoother
I'm a changed man now, I have a clean slate
If you could give me a chance, that would be great
I'll write this piece to lock it in
Let the brand new era begin

[Chorus]
There were days when I wanted to die
Call my family and say goodbye
Close the book and burn it away
God never listens when I pray
I've reviewed my life and found my error
I'm glad to say I'm better than ever!

[Bridge]
I'm having a good time (better than ever!)
I'm in my prime (better than ever!)
Hear the bell chime (better than ever!)
I've finished the climb (better than ever!)
I've finished the rhyme (better than ever!)

[Chorus]
There were days when I wanted to die
Call my family and say goodbye
Close the book and burn it away
God never listens when I pray
I've reviewed my life and found my error
I'm glad to say I'm better than ever!​
