Better Version - FLETCHER

Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else I am not perfect and I don't claim to be And if that's what you wanted Well, then I'm so sorry How about a better version of the way that I am? How about a better version that makes me understand? How about a better version of the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak? How about a better version of me? Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time A silver shade and the design is all mine It's just a maze that everyday I seem to be stuck in It never seems to fade away but I pray for the day it ends I am not perfect and I don't claim to be And if that's what you wanted Well, then I'm so sorry How about a better version of the way that I am? How about a better version that makes me understand? How about a better version of the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak? How about a better version of me? Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned How about a better version of me? How about a better version of me? How about a better version of me? How about a better version? How about a better version of the way that I am? How about a better version that makes me understand? How about a better version of the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak? How about a better version of me? How about a better version of the way that I am? How about a better version that makes me understand? How about a better version of the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak? How about a better version?

Oh baby you look so pretty With those hazel eyes I got in mind I got in mind You don't know how it feels like being Left on read So please reply in time Reply in time How can she be so lovely Yet so ugly from inside I cant seem to see why I'm falling inside Your trap Last time Shits tripping Since you liked my voice And it got you hocked Picking you up in Mercedes coups Now stuck in a cycle of fuck ups and jealousy In our past lives You would always yell at me Wow Think about times you were hesitant Thoughts about me are indefinite I wish i could rip you out from my head Like my hair If i had a funeral would you be there? Oh baby you look so pretty With those hazel eyes I got in mind You don't know how it feels like being Left on read So please reply in time Reply in time How can she be so lovely Yet so ugly from inside I cant seem to see why I'm falling inside Your trap

We've all been told when we were little We could grow up and live a fairy tale But no one ever bothered telling us that The story book ending never started out well Why's there always gotta be a hero? What if Cinderella had to save herself? It's not like we don't need a little help But maybe it's a good thing to go through little hell Now I'm laying in bed tonight With my best friend sleeping on my couch She got kicked out of her house cause she finally came out And all the riches in the kingdom won't fix that We'll walk through fire and ice Come out the other side with diamonds in our eyes So princess, hold your head high Even if you have to cry Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall Your script is in the making You can hold the aching but Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall down We've been dreaming the good life While we're living the real life We've been dreaming the good life While we're living the real life Supermodels lighten up the billboards And tell her live like she's on the runway She doesn't know she's not the only one having a hard time Liven up, there's something some day So keep your Chanel but it's not gonna be enough And even looking like Gisele, won't cover up the bruises So wear your scars proud, we're screaming loud Stop the abusing We'll walk through fire and ice Come out the other side with diamonds in our eyes So princess, hold your head high Even if you have to cry Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall Your script is in the making You can hold the aching but Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall down Little girls always grow older Your story is a long way from over We're lost before we're found We're lost before we're found Gotta be weak to get stronger Learn how to breathe under water This is our battleground This is our battleground All the houses are quiet and the fences are white The status and the pictures that they post are blind But we're all going through it so why do we do it? Why do we hide? So princess, hold your head high Even if you have to cry Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall Your script is in the making You can hold the aching but Don't let your crown fall Don't let your crown fall down Little girls always grow older Your story is a long way from over We're lost before we're found We're lost before we're found Gotta be weak to get stronger Learn how to breathe under water This is our battleground This is our battleground Why's there always gotta be a hero? What if Cinderella had to save herself?
