Better

You’d think that I was some average girl 
No, I was lower than that in this world 
I was just a kid, not acting my age
Playing games, watching TV all day
Let’s just hope that it’s only a stage
That I won’t always be this way

I know everything will be alright 
Even when the day turns into night 
No one’ll make me change my way
I’ll do it on my own & know my life’ll be great
If I’m so different, then maybe I’m grand 
Now that I can finally understand 

It all started out worse, now it’s all fine 
I’m going to be better for the rest of my life 

You know I’m better
Than I used to be
I know I’m better
Here is the real me
We know it’s better
than a long time ago 
Now that we all know
I’m a different girl
I am better

Now that I’m better
Out of the underworld 
I know I’m better
Shiny as diamonds and pearls
Sparkling like glitter
Not wanting more
Now I am a different girl 
I am completely better
