"Leave It Better Than You Found It" lyrics

Well I gotta admit
That the older I get
That I don't know shit
About anything anymore

And I thought that I did
When I was a kid
That's why I like to forget
So I get stoned
With my friends

And I guess that I hope
When it's my time to go
That they say I was alive
And I tried to be kind
And at times at bars with karaoke
I'd fully send
And that I left this place better than I found it

Used to be a know it all
Now I'm just growing small
Cracked the mirror let if fall
So much for walking so tall

When you live in regret
You get stuck in your head
You don't know what to expect
Everything's turning red

Maybe life is like a canvas
Throwing paint at the wall
And seeing what sticks
Loosen the grip and let it fall

But the truth of it is
It's not over yet
And I'll leave this place better than I found it

On our sweet by and by
They won't have to ask why
They'll say we had our mistakes
Gave it the old college try

In this game of pretend
We're just trying to mend
Maybe we just grow old
To become more like a kid

So we're walking the line
Cause we're all running out of time
Gotta keep an open mind
And leave the darkness behind

We'll never regret
Like our grandmas said
And we'll leave this place better than we found it

I hope we leave this place better than we found it
I hope we leave this place better than we found it

We're not where we're going
But we're not in the same place where we've been
We'll leave this place better than we found it

We're not where we're going
But we're not in the same place where we've been
We'll leave this place better than we found it...
