better than that

(Better than that, better than that) I start awake And I'll tell you I'm fine I haven't really slept in days But that happens all the time There's days where I feel fake There's times where my thoughts aren't mine But I'll do whatever it takes To keep my heart in line I'm trying to be perfect I know that sometimes that I'm not correct I beat my heart until it bruises My universe is wrecked These broken mirrors show that I want to be good enough My eyes always see the worst of myself Can I make it through life when it's tough? I put on a mask of deception I stare at myself in the mirror And to myself I'm thinking I'm better than that Better than that I wish that I could change this I wish that I was different And to myself I'm thinking I'm better than that Better than that I made mistakes before That I cannot redo I've hated change before But I need something new I set out to be perfect But I fell to the ground Nothing was worth it I feel like I drowned I'm trying to be perfect I know that sometimes that I'm not correct I beat my heart until it bruises My universe is wrecked These broken mirrors show that I want to be good enough My eyes always see the worst of myself Can I make it through life when it's tough? I put on a mask of deception I stare at myself in the mirror And to myself I'm thinking I'm better than that Better than that I wish that I could change this I wish that I was different And to myself I'm thinking I'm better than that Better than that
