I've been away for a long time
You've been my legs for my whole damn life
I hope that I'm not bothering you
But I hope that you've been yourself today
I heard that you got a new job in town
It pays my bills but it's getting you down
I know that it's been bothering you
But I don't really give a damn today
It gets better, better, better
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
It gets better, better, better
When I know that all the crying is for me
I've been this way for a long time
You think it's your fault, but I know that it's mine
I know that everybody blames you
I can't let you take the blame today
It gets better, better, better
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
It gets better, better, better
When I know that all the crying is for me
It gets better, better, better
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
It gets better, better, better
When I know that all the crying is for me
It gets better, better, better
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
It gets better, better, better
When I know that all the crying is for me
It gets better, better, better
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
It gets better, better, better
When I know that all the crying is for me
