Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was feeling fine in the summertime As if by design you arrived I was so content that my quick descent Was an unwelcome surprise When I took you in, you were pale and thin I could not begin to surmise With the sweats, the fear, the ring in my ear Yeah, my stay had been compromised [Refrain] I can get better, I can get better I can do better, I can do better I can get better, I can get better I can do better, I can do better [Chorus] No one did prepare me That the side effects weren't temporary No one could prevent me No, the side effects are permanently mine [Verse 2] So I stood up straight, it was not too late It was not my fate to expire I could feel the sun, I was not outdone I could be someone to admire But the feeling stayed and my state decayed I could not persuade you to go 'Cause I never asked, the desire outlasts All the warning signs, now I know [Refrain] I can get better, I can do better I can do better, I can do better I can get better, I can do better I can do better, I can do better [Chorus] No one did prepare me That the side effects weren't temporary No one could prevent me No, the side effects are permanently mine
