Better Version

Shinedown

Excuse the mess

I didn't see you from behind

I caught a glimpse

But the reflection's only mine

It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself

What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else

I am not perfect and I don't claim to be

And if that's what you wanted

Well then I'm so sorry



[Chorus:]

How about a better version of the way that I am?

How about a better version that makes me understand?

How about a better version of the way that I am?

The way I look, The way I speak,

How about a better version of me?



Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time

A silver shade, and the design is all mine

It's just a maze that everyday I seem to be stuck in

It never seems to fade away but I pray for the day it ends



I am not perfect and I don't claim to be

And if that's what you wanted

Well then I'm so sorry



CHORUS



[BRIDGE:]

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned



CHORUS
