Better - Val Emmich, The Good Names Are Taken

I’ve been tucked away

for the longest time

tried to find my peace

but I lost my mind

and the phone keeps ringing

but I don’t pick up

try to wear that smile

but you call my bluff

everybody wants to know

how am I doing?

I’m doing better

I was in ruins

I got it together

and now right this second

I feel okay

the smallest victories

I celebrate

I go from sane to crazy

day to night

not sure I have the stomach

for a long life

everybody wants to know

how am I doing?

I’m doing better

I was in ruins

I got it together

see my emotions

rise and fall

keep moving forward

even when I crawl

I have to crawl

you know, progress is very slow

sometimes it don’t even show

but if you really want to know

how am I doing?

I’m doing better

I was in ruins

I got it together
