Mason Douglas - Better Lyrics

Ain't that the way of the world... that we live in now
High five when you fly... kick you when you're down
A pat on the back might as well be a knife
The haters trying to knock you off the wave while you're riding your highest high
Hoping that the smoke blowing gets to you
Can't let the worst of them get the best of you...
You can be bitter like a pill that you can't quite swallow
Bitter like the cold wind in Chicago
Bitter like a coffee, no sugar no creamer
Bitter like collard greens before you steam 'em
You can drag your grey cloud... all over this town
Or you make a change as tiny as one little letter
You can be bitter... oh, oh, or you can be better... better... better, now
A heart's made of glass... and it's gonna break
The more that you give... the more they're gonna take
The more that you laugh... when you wanna cry
The sweeter the taste and the smile on your face when you're taking a bite
Cuz life's a piece of cake when you realize...
You can be bitter like a pill that you can't quite swallow
Bitter like the cold wind in Chicago
Bitter like a coffee, no sugar no creamer
Bitter like collard greens before you steam 'em
You can drag your grey cloud... all over this town
Or you make a change as tiny as one little letter
You can be bitter... oh, oh, or you can be better... better... better, now
You can be better than you ever thought you could be
Better than the weather on Waikiki
Better than sliced bread, better than a hung head
Better than you've ever been
You can drag your grey cloud... all over this town
Or you make a change as tiny as one little letter
You can be bitter... oh, oh, or you can be better... better... better, now
