I used to be
So broken, lost, empty
A heart with no beat
A singer with no song to sing
So I know the feeling
The silence is deafening
But in your pain lies a blessing
A sweeter song of victory
So keep walking n' walking n' walking
Though it seems so far
No matter who you are
See, there's one thing that I know
Life, it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better
It's alright
Dry your eyes
Send a prayer to the sky
I know it's hard to fight
But you must believe
That it gets better
Listen to me
I know you're scared
Your heart's bleeding
But what are you gonna do now?
I think it's time you break free
And keep walking n' walking n' walking
Though it seems so far
No, it doesn't really matter who you are
See, there's one thing that I know
Life, it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better
It's alright
Dry your eyes
Send a prayer to the sky
I know it's hard to fight
But you must believe
That it gets better, better
Almost out of here
See, I was almost done
I wanted to die
From how I was doing wrong
I cried out every night
Looking for a helping hand
That's when it happened
Jesus took me in
He held me close
Gave me love
Refilled my heart
Helped me grow
Better because
His love, it made me whole
He's available anytime
Try Him out
He'll change your life
See, 'cause I know
Life, it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Please, you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better
Life, it can leave
You so bitter bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better
It gets better (better), better (better)
So much better (better)
It gets better (better)
If you only believe (better)
So much better, yeah
