Better by Now

It's a little sad
Throwing the Christmas tree
Out with the trash
I never was good at saying goodbye
But now we're here
Facing down another year
Another false start at the finish line

I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be, better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be, better by now
Better by now

The last year took
A whole lot of life out of us
Part of me didn't even really mind
I stay at home
Watch your face on the telephone
Try to get ahead but I'm falling behind

I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be, better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be, better by now
Better by now
Better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be, better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be, better by now
Better by now
Better by now
