Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Still drink too much, yeah, still talk loud,
Still stir things up when I’m out with the crowd.
Short fuse, bad moves, I’ve been that guy,
But you keep me grounded, keep me alive.
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t perfect, never been,
But I’m stronger now than I was back then.
[Chorus]
I’m better than I was — yeah, I’m holdin’ strong,
That lost boy’s gone, been gone too long.
Every scar I’ve got, don’t matter because,
I ain’t who I should be yet,
But I’m better than I was.
Whoa-oh, better than I was.
[Verse 2]
Still leave boots out, still chase that high,
Still roll too fast under midnight skies.
But you calm my storm, pull me back to shore,
With you I ain’t runnin’ wild no more.
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t perfect, never been,
But I’m stronger now than I was back then.
[Chorus]
I’m better than I was — yeah, I’m holdin’ strong,
That lost boy’s gone, been gone too long.
Every scar I’ve got, don’t matter because,
I ain’t who I should be yet,
But I’m better than I was.
Whoa-oh, better than I was.
[Bridge]
One fight at a time, one day at a time,
With you by my side, I walk that line.
[Final Chorus]
I’m better than I was — yeah, I’m holdin’ strong,
That lost boy’s gone, been gone too long.
Every scar I’ve got, don’t matter because,
I ain’t who I should be yet,
But I’m better than I was.
Whoa-oh, better than I was.
Yeah, I’m better than I was.
[Outro]
Better than I was…
