Better Than I’ve Ever Been

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 twenty 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
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 never had
Though I'd trade it in a second to have you back
I've got to try to make some good out of the bad

So I laugh louder
Cry harder
I take less time to make up my mind
And I think smarter
Love 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
(Better than I've ever been)
Maybe, I'll laugh
(Better than I've ever been)
Maybe, I'll cry
(Better than I've ever been)
Oh yeah
(Better than I've ever been)
I cry for you
(Better than I've ever been)
I laugh for you
(Better than I've ever been)
(Better than I've ever been)
Here we go
