There's been a lot of things said about me Since that awful day I'm not that person that I used to be And that I'll never be the same That's true no doubt But I know more now what life is about I laugh louder Cry harder I take less time to make up my mind And I think smarter Go slower I know what I want and what I don't I'll be better than I've ever been Maybe I'll be better than I've ever been If someone told me 20 years ago That this would be my life I'd lose the greatest gift that love can show I'd have said, "No, I won't survive" But don't count me out Sometimes I'm stronger than I've ever felt I laugh louder Cry harder I take less time to make up my mind And I think smarter Go slower I know what I want and what I don't And I'll be better than I've ever been Maybe I'll be better than I've ever been There's a curious freedom Rising up from the dark Some kind of strength I've never had Though I'd trade it in a second just to have you back I've gotta try to make some good out of the bad I laugh louder Cry harder I take less time to make up my mind And I think smarter Go deeper I know what I want and what I don't I'll be better than I've ever been Better than I've ever been Yeah Oh-oh (Better than I've ever been) (Better than I've ever been) (Better than I've ever been) (Better than I've ever been) (Better than I've ever been) (Better than I've ever been) (Better than I've ever been)
