Maybe it's advantageous to delude yourself?
Maybe it's advantageous to deny yourself?
Lie to yourself?
When you've got too much to lose
Hey, that once was me
How we hide ourselves behind the clothes we wear
How we hide ourselves behind the things we say
The choices we make
How fake
Hey, that once was me
I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
Maybe it's all the time we have left on this earth
What can we do?
Nothing we've done so far could rectify this curse
For what it's worth
It's so hard to be selfless
Hey, that's me
Hiding in that corner of myself
Why, despite our trials, we can't redeem ourselves?
Why, despite our flaws, we can't avail ourselves?
Of that corner we've turned
Went 'round the bend
Back here again
Hey, that's me
I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
Before
I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
Oh I'd like to think
That I'm a little better now
Than I was before
Or am I dreaming?
Am I really better than before?
Hey, that's me
Hey, that's me
