Better Things Lyrics

You know you're alone
I can see you there
Stuck in your room
Your heart's full with despair

Funny it seems
How much we are the same
You want to stop
Playing life's little game

Well I know what you're going through
You're lonely just like me
Sittin' all alone in your room
Watching days go by
Wishing there were better things to do

I know I'm alone
You can see me there
I'm stuck in my room
My heart's full of despair

Funny it seems
How much we are the same
I want to stop playing life's little game

Well I know what you're going through
You're lonely just like me
Sittin all alone in your room
Watching days go by
Wishing there were better things to do

You're not the only one...
You're not the only one...
You're not the only one...
You're not the only one..... who feels this way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is really catchy, with a good meaning behind it. Although it takes on an upbeat pattern, it's all about growing up and going through times when you feel like you're the only one in the world who doesn't have someone.
