This song means hope, second chances, and new life; of shedding light to those who have been in the darkness for a long time. It marks a new beginning, much like this strange transition the world is going through now. Even through it, we want to remain optimistic.

-

Better is dedicated to all the friends, souls, and angels who listened, who helped me through my grief, and loved me as I was. Thanks to them, I've found the strength to become whole again.

I hope you give the people who have loved you through your worst the biggest hugs ever!!!!!!!

lyrics

-

you remind me that

there is
something
better out there

could it be
hidden underneath
all the things i thought were me
in recent years?

this wretched soul of mine
had taken years to find
i didn't have to hide anymore.

all because of you
no one else but you
has believed in all of me

no one else but you
you helped me to be true
you alone have set my spirit free

let this be my song to you
in every waking minute

i'm happy to share all you've given me

let me be your solitude
in this new world you've introduced

you let me be
you let me be
you let me be

you remind me that

there is
something
better in me
