"Better" lyrics

Hey, girl in the back of the classroom, afraid to stand out
So scared that you say the wrong thing so you don't make a sound
Paper planes in the sky
Crashing one at a time
Praying that they don't land where you hide

Baby, I've been there
I've seen it all before
Baby, I was you
Hoping for something more
And, baby, I promise
Cross my heart that in time it'll get better
It'll get better

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
It'll get better
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's gonna get better

Hey, girl in the back of the classroom
Just be strong
Some days feel like forever
But it won't be long
Until you're sittin' on top of the world, baby, believe it
Like a paper plane in the sky, you'll fly, oh

I've been there
I've seen it all before
Baby, I was you
Hoping for something more
Baby, I promise
Cross my heart that in time it'll get better
It's gonna get better

I know you're hurting inside
And you just wanna cry
I know you're hurting inside, inside, yeah
But tell all of the shadows "Goodbye"
Show 'em your bright side
I know, I know, yeah, oh
It's gonna get better
Just hold on

'Cause, baby, I've been there
I've seen it all before
Baby, I was you
Hoping for something more
Baby, I promise
Cross my heart that in time it'll get better
It'll get better, it's gonna get better yeah

Whoa oh oh
It'll get better
Whoa oh oh

It's gonna get better

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
It'll get better
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's gonna get better

Hey, girl in the back of the classroom
Just be strong
