[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
As crazy as it is, I admit
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
As crazy as it is, oh, I admit
[Chorus]
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)
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing at all, nothing at all
Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
(Nothing at all)
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Nothing)
