Alicia Keys - Better You, Better Me Lyrics






I look into the mirror
And see a different girl
Hiding from herself with
Not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool
Those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears she cries for help
See, I have been that girl
Didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day I turned to me

I told myself to wake up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that
My dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind
Had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over
Had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for and answer
But I’ve been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along

I’m here to make a statement
My place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is
I know
I’m gonna make it
I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

Feels like forever
Trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail
And you know
Sometime it will rain
But the sun will come
When you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light
And everything is alright
You can do
Whatever you put your mind to
Cause you’re all that you need
Like I do just believe

You’re here to make a statement
You’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is
I know
You’re gonna make it
You’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

  1. I.... L....

    It is important to turn to yourself and wake up because it is going to be a better day and my dreams do not have to wait.

  2. F.... S....

    Just watched the movie and was so emotional and then this song played during the credits at the end and I just lost it! Great movie and great song!

  3. �.... T....

    This song is amazing! I want to listen it online but unfortunately cant find it both on the Spotify and the Apple Music :( I am asking them to get this song!!

  7. T.... P....

    😍 Feel this in my soul. I loved that movie. So much strength,hope, and never giving up. Those kids were so brave.

  8. L.... Y....

    I believe I like this song because it reminds me when Christ tell His people now that you know who you are in me. Go tell them about me, and draw them unto me. The lyrics and meaning of this song is deep and inspiring on so many levels. I feel like the Holy Spirit led me back to this song for a reason. I had honestly forgotten about it. All I can say is thank you Lord! He is good y'all! Taste and see that He is good for yourselves. Stay blessed! 🙂

    luvvvv.this.movie!#

  10. K.... P....

    i wonder can she sing in a beat that got no piano flavour... ??

    K.... P....

    "That's when I knew" from "Girl on Fire". She can do everything and she doesn't waste her time wandering of what you are capable to do, for example.

    K.... P....

    Carolina Campos you don't have to be rude to answer his question, damn!

    K.... P....

    @ZHYBOO Davis Man, I did exceed myself. I'm a huge fan of her. I'm sorry.

    Great song love everything: Singing, lyrics, beat, bass, style, message & mastered LOUD too. It only would be nicer if it reflected a far happier Alicia though, I'd rather something less reflecting upon getting happy, rather than just being happy, idealistically. But love the honesty too.

  85. I.... W....

    Not only beautiful, but so talented. I still get chills when I hear fallin'.Can't wait until you come back to Australia.

  86. B.... P....

    NO ONE CAN TOUCH HER VOCALLY

  87. B.... a....

    I can't believe this has only got 97 333 views... and 57 people have hearing difficulties.

  88. C.... B....

    Alicia Keys was the song artist i grew up listening to <3

  89. H.... ....

    nice song nice tune...

  90. T.... ....

    Did not do much for me. I am a huge AK fan but this song is mediocre at best. Not on level with her other work. Sounds like two or three AK songs chopped and screwed together. Fail

  91. A.... V....

    My god this sounds just like me! I don't know what to do sometimes. i wanna give up and cry lately,but i try to keep going. I have truly felt sure,confident, or content of myself in a long time. Huh the hardest questions.....Who am I, What can i do,who do i want to be? God i'm scared.

  92. S.... D....

    Alicia, Maravilhosa!!!!

  93. G.... M....

    Jesus said "So it will be at the end of the age,the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous,and will throw them into the furnace of fire,in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."Matthew 13:49-50. Jesus also said "You are my friends if you do what I command you." John 15:14. Jesus taught that the only way to be saved is to choose him as your Lord and Master, repent and believe that he died for the sins of his people on the cross see John 14:6.
