Better Than I Used to Be - Aquarian Rising Music

Lyrics by Lytton Hall (Aquarian Rising).
Special thanks to Suno.com, without whom I couldn't have turned my lyrics into music.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Used to have a list of problems as long as my arm
I was shy, I couldn't fight and I never spoke up for myself
But time kept on a-goin' and I kept my eyes glued
on a future I could almost reach as my inner power grew

[Chorus]
Well I ain't perfect but I don't pretend to be
I got my problems and I try to solve 'em but it ain't hard to see
that for every step I lose I take two from my past
and sure I ain't too fast
But I'm a dang sight better than I used to be

[Verse 2]
I didn't have a single person that was there for me back then
All I did was cry 'bout the vicious lies from my family and my friends
And while I stumbled off the path from time too time in my despair
I know no one else could save themselves like I did to be fair

[Chorus]
Well I ain't perfect but I don't pretend to be
I got my problems and I try to solve 'em but it ain't hard to see
that for every step I lose I take two from my past
and sure I ain't too fast
But I'm a dang sight better than I used to be

[Bridge]
I got skeletons in my past
but my future's comin' fast
I can't wait to finally see
the new dawn of my destiny

[Verse 3]
We all fall from time to time
but the future don't have to rhyme
If you lose yourself and begin to fall
just pick yourself up and stand tall
Don't you ever let yourself stay down
it's your choice to turn it all around
If you're feelin' like your mind ain't free
Well, son, just take it from me

[Chorus]
I ain't perfect but I don't pretend to be
I got my problems and I try to solve 'em but it ain't hard to see
that for every step I lose I take two from my past
and sure I ain't too fast
But I'm a dang sight better than I used to be
