Better Than I Am

[Intro]
Hmm, hmm

[Verse 1]
Am I swimmin'
To keep from drownin'?
Am I runnin'
Runnin' to or runnin' from?
Have I used you?
If I'm honest, maybe sometimes
And though my past is far behind me
It's still not as far as I want

[Chorus]
But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am
Better than I am

[Verse 2]
It's more a truce (Hmm)
Less a surrender
It's more a givin'
I'm givin' more than I wanna give (Yes)

[Chorus]
I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am

[Bridge]
The road I took to get here
Is one I never wanna take again
Oh, I'm gonna keep believing
And pushin' up to the light
The light that pulls me in

[Chorus]
I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet
And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me
I will stand in the light, least as best I can
And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am

[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Hmm
