Intro

Verse 1

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

Pre-chorus

 Cause it seems I get so hung up on the history of whats gone wrong

 And the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see

 But I'm finally catching onto it, yeah the past is just a conduit

 And the light there at the end is where I'll be

Chorus

 Cause I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup

 And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of

 I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, yeah there's nothing left to prove

 Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you

 A better version of me for you

Verse 2

 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

Pre-chorus

 But I'm finally catching onto it

 Yeah the past is just a conduit

 And the light there at the end is where I'll be

Chorus

 Oh cause I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup

 And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of

 I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, yeah there's nothing left to prove

 Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you

A better version of me for...

Bridge

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 cause you're the reason why

Chorus

 Yeah you're why I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup

 And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of

 I'm on the up and uuuuuuuup, yeah there's nothing left to prove

 Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you

I'm just trying to be a better version of me for

yoooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuu
