Having kids young, it must have been hard Sleepless nights, scattered thoughts like our toys in the yard Thrown into a life you were not prepared for No footsteps to follow, the only shoes to fill were left by the door I know you did your best but you left such a hole in me And it scares me to death but I'm trying to be Better than, better than, better than you Better than, better than, better than you I'm going to make peace with the past that hurt me I'm just trying to be Better than, better than you You tore our family into pieces and you know that's the truth You broke every promise you made like you had nothing to lose I know you did your best but you left such a hole in me And it scares me to death but I'm trying to be Better than, better than, better than you Better than, better than, better than you I'm going to make peace with the past that hurt me I'm just trying to be Better than, better than you (Better than you) A family tree of Generations Filled with disappointment We are the sound of The pain and the love Over thousands and thousands of years A family tree of Generations Filled with disappointment We are the sound of The pain and the love Over thousands and thousands of years But I just want to be Better than, better than, better than you Better than, better than, better than you I'm going to make peace with the past that hurt me I'm just trying to be Better than, better than you Better than you Better than you I'm gonna make war with the way you fell short I'm trying to be better than, than you
