Lyrics
I’ll Be Better
It’s not the money, it’s not the time that breaks this heart of mine It’s the things we say that makes me feel this way
I know, I know, I know just why I can’t let you go
It’s the things we do, that makes me feel so blue
It’s not the house, it’s not the car, it’s not the time I spend in bars
It’s a mystery, it’s not up to me
I never, never claimed to be Jesus, never tried to heal, never tried to please us And I won’t pretend and I won’t defend
CHORUS
But I’ll be better when you see me so don’t worry ‘cuz I’m gone
I don’t know where I’m going, don’t know for how long
But there’s one thing I know for certain, I’m going to run ’til I stop hurtin’ I’ll be better when you see me so do worry ‘cuz I’m gone
It’s not the love, it’s not the hate, it’s not the wolves snarlin’ at my gate It’s an epiphany, it snuck up on me
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I still find no tears to cry
Sometimes you just don’t know until you know it’s time to go
CHORUS
