Better

My mother told me I'm way to young
And I said
Mom i just can't wait to run away
I can do this I know I'm ready
Step father told me
You're way to weak
And boy
You wouldn't even last the week
And so I left my home

But they thought they knew
Better than me
But I thought I knew
Better than them

She told me that I had 3 more days
And I needed to find a gig that paid
Because rent just isnt free
And I'm behind 2 months already
I told her I can find work that pays
But I
Have got to go to the streets of grey
Because
They're the only ones
That'll take me away from

And I thought I knew
Better than to
Go back in to
The darkness I came from

I thought leaving
Would make me feel better
But it might take another 3
Fuckin Years
Until I feel like I'm not stumbling
And you thought of me
As something that's better
But you're better off it seems
Without me
I'm drowning in waves of
My own selfish tendencies

While you Tried bettering us
Was busy bettering me
Thought I was bigger than us
But this was bigger than me
So please keep bettering us
While Keep bettering me
And I'll start bettering you
When I'm done bettering me
When I'm done bettering me
