Lyrics to Better Than I Am
Am I swimming
To keep from drowning?
Am I running
Running to or running from?
Have I used you?
If I'm honest, maybe sometimes
And though my past is far behind me
It's still not as far as I want
But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
Better than I am
It's more a truce
Less a surrender
It's more a giving
Giving more than I wanna give, yes, it is
I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
The road I took to get here
Is one I never wanna take again
Oh, I'm gonna keep believing
And pushing up to the light
The light that pulls me in
And I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
And I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am, oh yeah
To keep from drowning?
Am I running
Running to or running from?
Have I used you?
If I'm honest, maybe sometimes
And though my past is far behind me
It's still not as far as I want
But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
Better than I am
It's more a truce
Less a surrender
It's more a giving
Giving more than I wanna give, yes, it is
I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
The road I took to get here
Is one I never wanna take again
Oh, I'm gonna keep believing
And pushing up to the light
The light that pulls me in
And I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can so damage me
And I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am, oh yeah
