I stumble through the supermarket
Fill up and empty my cart
And the brown bags under her eyes
They look a lot like mine
She says, "Have a good day"
I mumbled a response, "You too"
She replies, "You have better chance of that than me"
When our eyes meet, well I know that it's true
She says, "I was what you are"
"One day you will be what I am"
When freedom takes hold
You begin to understand
She is good
Yeah she's better than me
Life is good
It's better than you think
When she looks over at her baby
She knows that life is worth saving
When she can't quite decide
She looks into those eyes
Used to lie to herself
And think that it feels better this way
I know 'cause I do the same
But truth always finds a way
'Cause angry words and angry faces
Will always fade 'cause time is patient
She is good
Yeah she's better than me
Life is good
It's better than you think
I fumble for the keys to my car
Pray to God it might start
And the clouds hanging under the sky
Can't block all the light
She calls me on the phone
Yeah, tells me she's in pain
Well I tell her, "I know you're scared"
"But I promise I'm on my way"
Forget all the little things
That we continue to worry about
And breathe deep because in time
They'll be a little thing for us to worry about
For us to worry about
She is good
Yeah she's better than me
Life is good
It's better than you think
She is good
Yeah she's better than me
Life is good
Yeah it's better than you think
She is good
Yeah she's better than me
Life is good
Yeah it's better than we think
