It's not that the light is dim,   only that it flickers.   And there are moments when she's artificial   Repeating familiar language that's only ritual      But she's gotten better   She really has   She's gotten better   And it's not as bad as it could be   Not as bad as it has been      I love her most when she doesn't hide it   When she lets those pesky thoughts come out to play   She likes to be alone   And she goes somewhere inside secretly      But she's gotten better   She really has   She's gotten better   And its not as bad as it could be   Not as bad as it has been      And I wouldn't be suprised   No, I wouldn't be suprised if her dreams were much better than mine.
