Intro: Verse: Their's paper peeling off the walls I see the paint from yesteryear We try to cover up the past But tiny secrets still appear So please don't say it gets better, It gets better, It gets better all with time I'm not better, We're not better, Even after all this time. Ooo-ooh ooh ooh Ooo-ooh ooh ooh Ooo-ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooo-ooh ooh ooh Ooo-ooh ooh ooh Ooo-ooh ooh ooh ooh Verse: The kitchen floor is a checkered board We've tried an escape for years The tiles are cracked and colors changed The battleground is all but cleared So please don't say it gets better, It gets better, It gets better all with time I'm not better, We're not better, Even after all this time. BREAK: in the cobwebs Memories linger in these rooms Under the floorbards Sweeping stories we outgrew Ooooh oooooh ooh Verse: Its not a place to call a home Just a place we've been for years The garden weeds have overgrown We've over stayed our welcome here So please don't say it gets better, It gets better, It gets better all with time I'm not better, We're not better, Even after all this time. It gets better It gets better, It gets better all with time I'm not better, We're not better, Even after all this time.
