Better by Now

[Verse 1]
It's a little sad
Throwing the Christmas tree out with the trash
I never was good at saying goodbye
Now we're here, facing down another year
Another false start at the finish line

[Chorus]
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be better by now
Better by now

[Verse 2]
Last year took a whole lot of life out of us
Part of me didn't even really mind
I stay at home, watch your face on the telephone
I try to get ahead but I'm falling behind

[Chorus]
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be better by now
Better by now
Better by now

[Chorus]
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be better by now
I really wanted to believe it, somehow
I really wanted it to be better by now
Better by now
Better by now
