Better

When you get what you want then you don't want it anymore When you take what you need then you'll find That the journey means more than the place that you're searching for And the trip is just all in your mind If you had all the answers, you'd find there's no use for it If you ask the right questions you'll see That knowing it all only helps you a little bit And knowing what's right sets you free I was told long ago, some truths I thought were real A lifetime to instill But in time, I realized that's just not how I feel And they don't know me and they never will It's better to see it than close your eyes It's better to feel it than keep it inside It's better to know where you're going than where you've been You gotta be first to get back in If you're setting your sights on a target too far away And you've never been shown how to aim It's hard not to fire at all those that get in the way But regardless, you still feel the shame When the sea rocks your boat and the wind blows you off your course And destruction is all that you've seen You steer for relief but you're headed for remorse And you're looking for what's in between I was told long ago some lies I held so dear Built in me right from the start But in time I realized and now I see it clear What's meant to hold you can rip you apart It's better to see it than close your eyes It's better to feel it than keep it inside It's better to know where you're going than where you've been You gotta be first to get back in Of all I've seen and I've known..there's so much to call my own Trying to choose, still I can't lose this Scarlet Letter Whether I'm right or I'm wrong..some of the ghosts still live on Fight it a bit, then live with it and make it better It's better to see it than close your eyes It's better to feel it than keep it inside It's better to know where you're going than where you've been...
