Better by Now Lyrics by CAL

The Identity Crisis: Side A

0

[Verse 1]
Life takes us all directions
I live in two dimensions
One where we win it all
And one where we're honorable mentions
Nobody shows you low-lights
Probably 'cause they'll be most nights
That before I said goodbye I say it all the time

[Pre-Chorus]
And I buried you in my head but seeds don't grow
And I need you to know

[Chorus]
I'm not sure you left me with my pieces put together
I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now
And I'm not sure I'll ever be that kid you that remember
I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm

[Verse 2]
I suffer from self awareness
Nobody knows or cares
Too many things I do, didn't know I got from you
But low key I like it a lot, so slowly I'm connectin' the dots
Oh, feel guilty I can't remember moments you and me never got

[Pre-Chorus]
I buried you in my head but seeds don't grow
And I need you to know

[Chorus]
I'm not sure you left me with my pieces put together
I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now
And I'm not sure I'll ever be that kid you that remember
I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not
I'm not, no I'm not
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not
I'm not, no I'm not
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not

[Bridge]
Supposed to be better
Supposed to be better
Supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not

[Chorus]
I'm not sure you left me with my pieces put together
I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now
And I'm not sure I'll ever be that kid you that remember
I was supposed to be better
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not
No, no I'm not
I was supposed to be better by now, I'm not
I'm not, no I'm not
I was supposed to be
