Better Version - Shinedown

Excuse the mess, I didn’t see you from behind

I caught a glimpse, but the reflection’s only mine

It’s almost like I’m paralyzed, and locked outside myself

What I don’t need is to concede, because I won’t be someone else

I am not perfect

I don’t claim to be

If that’s what you wanted

Well then I’m so sorry

How about a better version of, the way that I am

How about a better version that, makes me understand

How about a better version of, the way that I am

The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version of me

Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time

A silver shade, and the design is all mine

It’s just a maze that everyday, I seem to be stuck in

It never seems to fade away, but I pray for the day it ends

I am not perfect

I don’t claim to be

If that’s what you wanted

Well then I’m so sorry

How about a better version of, the way that I am

How about a better version that, makes me understand

How about a better version of, the way that I am

The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version of me

Show me my vital signs until I’m realigned

Show me my vital signs until I’m realigned

Show me my vital signs until I’m realigned

Show me my vital signs until I’m realigned

How about a better version of me

How about a better version of me

How about a better version of me

How about a better version…

How about a better version of, the way that I am

How about a better version that, makes me understand

How about a better version of, the way that I am

The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version of me

How about a better version of, the way that I am

How about a better version that, makes me understand

How about a better version of, the way that I am

The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version
