[Verse 1] Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine It's almost like I'm paralyzed, and locked outside myself What I don't need is to concede, because I won't be someone else [Pre-Chorus] I am not perfect I don't claim to be If that's what you wanted Well then I'm so sorry [Chorus] How about a better version of, the way that I am How about a better version that, makes me understand How about a better version of, the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version of me [Verse 2] Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time A silver shade, and the design is all mine It's just a maze that everyday, I seem to be stuck in It never seems to fade away, but I pray for the day it ends [Pre-Chorus] I am not perfect I don't claim to be If that's what you wanted Well then I'm so sorry [Chorus] How about a better version of, the way that I am How about a better version that, makes me understand How about a better version of, the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version of me [Bridge] Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned How about a better version of me How about a better version of me How about a better version of me How about a better version... [Chorus] How about a better version of, the way that I am How about a better version that, makes me understand How about a better version of, the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version of me [Chorus] How about a better version of, the way that I am How about a better version that, makes me understand How about a better version of, the way that I am The way I look, the way I speak, how about a better version
