better than it was lyrics

Once I had it all planned out, my dirty fingers moved about
To make a mess of everything around me
And I don't claim to know my way, I still run in circles everyday
Running around half blind, life can be unkind

But it's better than it was
It's better than it was
I complain very little because
It's better than it was

I get to remembering we had a lot more money then
To make a mess of everything around us
Now the money comes and goes, a bit faster
Than my confidence grows, everybody knows
There ain't nothing new about money woes

But it's better than it was
It's better than it was
It's better than it was
It's better than
We ever could have wished it to, before

It was bad a while ago better this I know

It's better than it was
Better than it was
I complain very little because
It's better than it was
Better than it was
