[Verse 1]
Hey, you, with your head held high, well
You got him real good, I hope it feels good
Hey, you, trying so hard not to cry, well
I know you're fed up, but keep your head up

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause people only see what they wanna
People gon' believe what they gonna
They don't understand the life that you choose
They never walked a mile in your shoes, no, no, no, no
So whatcha gonna do with the haters?
Just gotta excuse their behavior
But just don't give up hope
I just want you to know

[Chorus]
Maybe today seems cloudy and gray
So full of sorrow and tomorrow seems so far away
But it gets better, it gets better
But it gets better, it gets better
And I know the world keeps throwing you strife
But keep on strutting down this yellow-brick road called life
Cause it gets better, it gets better
Cause it gets better, it gets better
Verse 2]
Hey, you, wondering who you are, saying
"There's something wrong here, I don't belong here"
Hey, you, don't you know you've come so far
And when there's nowhere to run to, I'll always love you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But people only see what they wanna
People gon' believe what they gonna
They don't understand the way that you feel
They never walked a mile in your heels, no, no, no, no
So whatcha gonna do with your haters?
Just gotta excuse their behavior
But just don't give up yet
Don't ever forget

[Chorus]
Maybe today seems cloudy and gray
So full of sorrow and tomorrow seems so far away
But it gets better, it gets better
But it gets better, it gets better
And I know the world keeps throwing you strife
But keep on strutting down this yellow-brick road called life
Cause it gets better, it gets better
Cause it gets better, it gets better
[Chorus]
Maybe today seems cloudy and gray
So full of sorrow and tomorrow seems so far away
But it gets better, it gets better
But it gets better, it gets better
And I know the world keeps throwing you strife
But keep on strutting down this yellow-brick road called life
Cause it gets better, it gets better
Cause it gets better, it gets better

[Outro]
Cause it gets better, it gets better
