Better Lyrics by Hoobastank

Hoobastank (20th Anniversary Edition)

2001

[Verse 1]
Just when I thought that I was better
I realized that I don't know what better was
Is it better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I'd better hurry 'cause I need a better view of things

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know, what it is
Or what have I think I've been doin'

[Chorus]
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you

[Verse 2]
And I'm not getting any better
'Cause every time I can't remember what it's for
Is it better now than yesterday?
Better than I am this way?
Better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn't say

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't know, what it is
Or what have I think I've been doin'

[Chorus]
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be
I'd still rather be me than me be you

[Bridge]
'Cause I don't know, what it is
Or what have I think I've been doin'
No I don't know, what it is
Or what have I think I've been doin'

[Chorus]
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be
I'd still rather be me than me be you
Me be you
