I used to wish
Oh, how ignorance was bliss
That one day, I'd be happier than this
I (I) used to feel
Like all my fantasies were real
But now my dreams have lost all their appeal
As crazy as it is, I admit
I'm afraid of getting better
I'm afraid it gets too good
'Cause it can't last forever
Even though I wish it could
The higher you rise, the further that you fall
And soon, you're left with nothing at all
I'm comfortable
I'm okay, I'm not that miserable
I'm somewhere in the middle of it all
I honestly just don't wanna spend my energy
Fixing all these broken things
As crazy as it is, oh, I admit
I'm afraid of getting better
I'm afraid it gets too good
'Cause it can't last forever
Even though I wish it could
The higher you rise, the further that you fall
And soon, you're left with nothing at all (soon, you're left with nothing, nothing)
Nothing at all, nothing at all
Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
I'm afraid of getting better
I'm afraid it gets too good (oh)
'Cause it can't last forever
Even though I wish it could
The higher you rise, the further that you fall
And soon, you're left with nothing at all
(Nothing at all)
(Nothing at all)
(Nothing at all)
(Nothing at all)
(Nothing at all)
(Nothing at all)
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Nothing)
