/// Lyrics:

What’s better, what’s better?
If I act like everything’s cool
That I’m doin’ fine
As though I’m happy for you
Ya hardly ever cross my mind
’Cross my mind I’m doin’ fine
Or let the tears fall down like rain
My heart out on my sleeve
Go around sayin’ your name
Let everybody see
It’s killin’ me, can’t you see?

No, I’m goin’ to acting school
And all you people I will fool
You’ll believe that it’s genuine
When ya see me smilin’ all the time
Sunshine all the time
Ya hardly cross my mind

What’s better, what’s better?
If I could get you to think
That I understand
Maybe buy you a drink
Shake the hand of your new man
Your new man, I understand
Or waste all the summer light
And never try anything new
Get drunk and start a fight
Probably say fuck you
Nothin’ new, nothin’ new

No, I’m goin’ to acting school
And all you people I will fool
Under the clear blue sky
You’ll see no questions in my eyes
Darlin’, you’ll never know
In my heart the fire glows
You will not find one sign
That you are always on my mind
My mind all the time
You’re always on my mind
