Better Version

  • 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

    [Chorus:]
    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

    [Chorus]

    Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned [Repeat: x4]

    [Chorus] Writer/s: BOB MARLETTE, BRAD STEWART, BRENT SMITH
