Getting Better

[00:00.33] You told me you pray when
[00:02.82] There's nobody looking
[00:05.93] I no longer go to church
[00:08.19] Just cuz both my parents took me
[00:12.33] I spent three years choosing
[00:14.90] First and thinking after
[00:17.93] Then another two trying
[00:20.34] To make forgiveness work faster
[00:24.29] Keep all of the sadness
[00:26.87] In your peripheral vision
[00:30.05] We'll unload on each other
[00:32.80] The next time that I visit
[00:36.24] I'm just so confused as to
[00:39.08] How you already want me
[00:41.97] I keep trying to convince you
[00:44.86] Some day I'll be worth loving
[00:47.74] So I get home
[00:50.36] And I'll call your phone to say
[00:56.15] I've got some bad stuff in my system
[00:59.41] But something better in my soul
[01:02.47] I'm choosing to see how far I've come
[01:05.48] When I see how far I've left to go
[01:08.72] Oh the healing's coming slowly
[01:11.69] And I've got twelve rounds left to fight
[01:14.55] But I'm getting better at getting better
[01:17.52] And a little closer to alright
[01:25.83] I'm not good at knowing
[01:27.91] Sixty years won't go by so soon
[01:31.57] The only time I don't wonder what's next
[01:35.39] Is when I hold you
[01:37.69] I forget that years take time
[01:39.89] And one day is still progress
[01:43.53] You say you never fixed things by
[01:47.13] Talking to God less
[01:49.18] So I get home and I'll
[01:52.55] Call your phone to say
[01:54.94] I've got some bad stuff
[01:56.41] In my system, but something
[01:58.79] Better in my soul
[02:00.92] I'm choosing to see how far I've come
[02:03.88] When I see how far I've left to go
[02:07.26] Oh the healing's coming slowly
[02:10.03] And I've got twelve rounds left to fight
[02:12.91] But I'm getting better at getting better
[02:16.12] And a little closer to alright
[02:20.79] I would sprint a marathon
[02:23.77] On a broken leg
[02:26.66] Before I'd go and tell a doctor
[02:29.55] Something's wrong
[02:32.62] Just ignore the pain til it's gone
[02:36.36] Shift the blame
[02:37.60] Could throw up on everything
[02:40.58] Til I haven't run in so long
[02:44.36] I've got some bad stuff
[02:46.38] In my system, but something
[02:48.24] Better in my soul
[02:50.49] I'm choosing to see how far I've come
[02:53.33] When I see how far I've left to go
[02:56.65] Oh the healing's coming slowly
[02:59.66] And I've got twelve rounds left to fight
[03:02.61] But I'm getting better at getting better
[03:05.36] And a little closer to alright
[03:08.56] I'm getting better at getting better
[03:11.44] And a little closer to alright
[03:16.69]
