Yesterday

Is not quite what it could've been

As were most of all the days before

But I swear today

With every breath I'm breathing in

I'll be trying to make it so much more



Cuz the scene it gets so horrible

The history and what's gone wrong

And the hope of a new day

Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)

And though I'm finally catching onto it

And now the past is just a conduit

And the life that I have

The end is where I'll be 



Cuz I'm on the up and up

I'm on the up and up

And I haven't given up

Given up on what

What I've gained from love

And I'm on the up and up

I'm on the up and up

Yeah there's nothing left to prove

Cuz I'm just trying to be 

A better version of me

For you

A better version of me

For you



To be prosperous

Would not require much of me

You see contentment is the one thing

It entails

To be content with where I am

And getting where I need to be

I'm moving past the past

Where I have failed



But I'm finally catching onto it

And now the past is just a conduit

Right there at the end

Is where I'll be

Ohh



Cuz I'm on the up and up

I'm on the up and up

And I haven't given up

Given up on what

What I've gained from love

And I'm on the up and up

I'm on the up and up

Yeah there's nothing left to prove

Cuz I'm just trying to be 

A better version of me

For you

A better version of me

For you



You never cease

To supply me with 

What I need

For a good life

So when I'm down

I'll hold my head up high

Cuz you're the reason why



I'm on the up and up

I'm on the up and up

And I haven't given up

Given up on what

What I've gained from love

And I'm on the up and up

I'm on the up and up

Yeah there's nothing left to prove

Cuz I'm just trying to be 

A better version of me

For you

(Trying to be a better version of me for you)

Ohh
