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    Cause it seems I get so hung up on  The history and what's gone wrong  And the hope of a new day  Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)  And though I'm finally catching onto it  And now the past is just a conduit  And the light there at the end is  Where I'll be    Cause I'm on the up and up  I'm on the up and up  And I haven't given up  Given up on what  I know I'm capable of  And I'm on the up and up  I'm on the up and up  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    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    But I'm finally catching onto it  And now the past is just a conduit  Right there at the end  Is where I'll be  Oh    Cause I'm on the up and up  I'm on the up and up  And I haven't given up  Given up on what  What I've gained from love  And I'm on the up and up  I'm on the up and up  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    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    I'm on the up and up  I'm on the up and up  And I haven't given up  Given up on what  What I've gained from love  And I'm on the up and up  I'm on the up and up  Yeah there's nothing left to prove  Cause I'm just trying to be  A better version of me  For you  (Trying to be a better version of me for you)  Oh
