I've been away for a long time You've been my legs for my whole damn life I hope that I'm not bothering you But I hope that you've been yourself today I heard that you got a new job in town It pays my bills but it's getting you down I know that it's been bothering you But I don't really give a damn today It gets better, better, better When I hear my mother crying in her sleep It gets better, better, better When I know that all the crying is for me I've been this way for a long time You think it's your fault, but I know that it's mine I know that everybody blames you I can't let you take the blame today It gets better, better, better When I hear my mother crying in her sleep It gets better, better, better When I know that all the crying is for me It gets better, better, better When I hear my mother crying in her sleep It gets better, better, better When I know that all the crying is for me It gets better, better, better When I hear my mother crying in her sleep It gets better, better, better When I know that all the crying is for me It gets better, better, better When I hear my mother crying in her sleep It gets better, better, better When I know that all the crying is for me I've been this way for a long time
