Vanessa Peters - Better

I've spent nearly all my life worrying about
what other people think of me
and even though it's better now, I can't say that I'm free
but it's better, it's a whole lot better

I've spent a lot of mornings shaking off bad dreams
trying to make peace with the past
and I don't know if this truce we made is gonna last
but it's better, it's a whole lot better

I snatched half a day from the jaws of the rain
put on a coat and went outside
an unexpected walk in the sudden sun
it always makes me feel so alive

I've spent a lot of time wasted on decisions
I couldn't seem to make
and kept a lot of feelings hidden away
with others I couldn't fake
and even though I cannot say I'm free of that ache
it's better, it's a whole lot better
