Nuthin' better is waiting 'round my corner

I really believed
wholeheartedly
that something better
would be waiting
'round the corner
waiting for me
to come and get it.

believing this
was a kind of religion for me
the only thing i could
hold on to
in dark times
the only sparkling star
in my dark sky.

but i'm not sure
if i can keep my faith
i've been disappointed
time and time again.

oh there was something better
waiting 'round the corner
as sound as i found it
hiding in the dark
i grabbed this opportunity
with both hands
not wanting to let it fly away
but yet i was disappointed.
again.

it's hard to believe
something better's waiting for me
when you can't believe
there actually exist
something better
than
the life
i had imagined
would be mine
and mine alone.
