[Verse 1]
I dont want to go out to see my friends tonight
Drinking just to feel alright
And I don’t want to pick up the phone and have to lie
Tell my mom I’m doing fine

[Pre-Chorus]
Oo, they will never understand
Why I am the way I am
Cause I, I don’t even know what’s going on inside
What the hell is peace of mind?

[Chorus]
They say it gets better
Damn it’s taking forever
I know these days should be treasured
But I don’t want to remember at all
I feel like I’ve done my time
I still don’t see the end in sight
But they say it gets better

[Verse 2]
I can’t think of the last time
I went to sleep without anxiety
And I kind of miss the days
I could go out to eat without crying over calories
[Pre-Chorus]
Oo, I just want to understand
Why I am the way I am
Oo, acting like an optimist
Telling myself I’m convinced

[Chorus]
When they say it gets better
Damn it’s taking forever
I know these days should be treasured
But I don’t want to remember at all
I feel like I’ve done my time
I still don’t see the end in sight
But they say it gets better

[Bridge]
Oo, will everything I feel right now get figured out?
Oo, or do I learn to live with it?
Is that what works for everyone else?

[Chorus]
When they say it gets better
Damn it’s taking forever
I know these days should be treasured
But I don’t want to remember at all
I’m showing all the warnings signs
And I don’t want to lose mind
Before it gets better
They say it gets better
