To the Better

Give me back all the love I cried for you awake in the bitter nights...
Give me all my beauty I wasted away crying out my eyes.
I know you thought I was wrong,
I know you thought I was bad
Doing what I wanted and speaking like that.
You wanted me to be someone I'd never been,
I'm not any nicer than me.

It's been a long life to live in a wrong time at the wrong place.
It's been a whole life through. It was all a waste, now it all changes to the better.
To the better.

Trying to forget the unforgettable
You'd lie if you say I was bad.
Maybe I was not enough respectable
For you and all the things in your head.
But in my bed you were fired,
Neighbors cried.
Sorry, but all the girls lied to you -
Now it's time to be told,
Baby, I was cold.
I found somebody better than you.

And I stopped fighting with my heart,
And now it comes from deep inside.
My life is not what I was trying to like
But that is what I love.
