Lyrics

I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not

Look at me now
What do you see
A fading shadow of what used to be
Look at me then
The mountains I climbed
Achievements I left so far behind

Can we change it
Can we change it for good
Can we change it

I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not

Someone misspoke
They told an untruth
They peddled a lie without producing the proof
A scene without change
A life without cause
Presuming the facts without slowing to pause

Can we change it
Can we change it for good
Can we change it

I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not

I thought it, I thought it, 
Was getting better
I thought it, I thought it, 
Was getting better
I thought it, I thought it, 
Was getting better
But it’s not

I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
