Better

[Verse 1]
Yellow boxes in my car
Pack 'em high til' I can't see far
Yeah, I'm moving on to better
Try not to care what others think
If I fail again try to swim and sink
They'll say I could do 'Better'

[Chorus]
So I'll blame it on my optimistic hearts
At least I'll have stories for my scars
American dream my life away
When all of my dreams cry 'MAYDAY' 'MAYDAY'!
I may lose my heart, but one day I'll be a star!

[Verse 2]
They promised me a bigger house
I'll make the money playing out loud, don't you hear
That sounds much 'Better'
And if I make this dreaming last
Is it worth the painful past? I hope... I hope this will get 'Better'

[Chorus]
So I'll blame it on my optimistic hearts
At least I'll have stories for my scars
American dream my life away
When all of my dreams cry 'MAYDAY' 'MAYDAY'!
I may lose my heart but one day I'll be a star!

I'll tell you all about the things I left for
Hanging onto dreams, thought I was meant for
But never did I think you'd take the heart from me, you'd take the heart from me

I'll tell you all about the things I left for
Hanging onto dreams, thought I was meant for
But never did I think you'd take the heart from me, you'd take the heart from me

[Chorus]
Blame it on my optimistic hearts
At least I'll have stories for my scars
American dream my life away
When all of my dreams cry 'MAYDAY' 'MAYDAY'!
I may lose my heart, but one day I'll be a star!

I'll tell you all about the things I left for
Hanging onto dreams, thought I was meant for
But never did I think you'd take the heart from me, you'd take the heart from me
