"Better" lyrics

Like a ship without a compass, I'm adrift at sea
Doubting if I'll ever reach the horizon, where my dreams will be
I try to light the way, but the wind will always blow
Feel like I'll always be in second place, wherever I go

Every time I try, I feel like a bird with broken wings
Flapping and struggling, that never takes off still bound to strings
People tell me I soar, but I can't shake off the fear
That I'll always be stuck here, year after year

Doubting myself every day and night
Can I do better?
Scream into the dark, I'm not alright
Can I do better?
Can I do better than this?

In a sea of stars, I'm just a small flame
Flickering and dancing, but never the same
Feeling lost, like I don't have a place
In this world where everyone shines with grace

Can I do better?
Can I do better than this?

Doubting myself every day and night
Can I do better?
Scream into the dark, I'm not alright
Can I do better?
Can I do better than this?

Like a ship without a compass, I'm adrift at sea
Doubting if I'll ever reach the horizon, where my dreams will be
I try to light the way, but the wind will always blow
Feel like I'll always be in second place, wherever I go

I give it all, like a seed in the ground
But it seems like I'm stuck, never reached the sound
Of what I am craving
No matter how hard I try
Always one step behind

Doubting myself every day and night
Can I do better?
Scream into the dark, I'm not alright
Can I do better?
Can I do better than this?

(Can I do better than this?)
Can I do better?
Can I do better than this?
(Can I do better than this?)
Can I do better than this?
(Can I do better than this?)
