You got a lot to learn before I let you go   There's things you need to see and things you need to know      They say we won't make it   What do they know?   They say we can't do it   But I got to know      [chorus:]   Is it getting better?   Is it getting worse?   Was it ever worth it?   Was it just a curse?      Is it getting better now? (x2)         You've got a lot to do before I let you stay   There's things you need to see and things you need to say      They say we won't make it   What do they know?   They say we can't do it   But I got to know      [chorus]      you always talk too much, too little, too late,   too much, too little, too late   for me to figure out (x2)      I still can't figure out      [chorus]
