"Something Better" lyrics

This is all you've been exposed to, yeah it's all you've ever known
But can't you understand you shouldn't feel this low
Abusive tongues should now be silenced, thrown out of the door
And I think it's high time for you to try a different road

I haven't known you too long, but still you managed to make it inside
I think of you and worry 'bout you all the time
I know you've seen your fair share of evil in this life

I wanna be your shoulder to lean on
I wanna be your helping hand
I wanna be the one you turn to when you know you need a friend

I wanna be there to help you through the bad times
And to help you celebrate the good
I wanna be the one to show you there's a better life for you

Depression may have set in due to taking too much
Nobody ever cared to lift you up
Just insults and abuse, you're now self-medicating numb
And trying to forget what your life has become

But you have a choice, you could really have it all
It's not too late to cope and move on
Some people say you'll never change and I should just accept it
But I can't, I won't, there's hope I'll make a difference

I wanna be your shoulder to lean on
I wanna be your helping hand
I wanna be the one you turn to when you know you need a friend

I wanna be there to help you through the bad times
And to help you celebrate the good
I wanna be the one to show you there's a better life for you

You have got the strength and power to make a new, better life
Just drop that bottle, lose those habits, say goodbye to the screams and lies

Now take your faith and take my hand
It won't be easy but we'll make it happen
I wanna show you the brighter side of life
I wanna lift you up and make your dreams come alive
I wanna show you the world, leave this all behind
Forget your troubles a new sun's on the rise

So let me be your shoulder to lean on
Let me be your helping hand
Let me be that someone you turn to when you know you need a friend

Let me be there to help you through the bad times
And to help you celebrate the good
Let me be the one to show you there's a better life for you
