Better For It
by Riley Clemmons

Album: Riley Clemmons

Verse 1
I wouldn't say I would've chosen it
That time I hit the bottom and it hurt a little bit
Funny how being down can make you look up
But now I'm better for it

All I could see in the moment was
My heart and how it felt ripped open, I'll admit
I found you down low in the brokenness
And now I'm better for it

Pre-Chorus
I count it all as joy even when I'm in the flame
'Cause I know you always

Chorus
Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts there's a real good reason
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it

Verse 2
Yeah, I used to think pain was a consequence
But now I kinda think it might be the perfect gift
You use to get me straight to you
And I'm better for it

Pre-Chorus
I count it all as joy even when I'm in the flame
'Cause I know you always

Chorus
Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts, there's a real good reason
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it

Down low, down in the broken
I found you and I'm better for it
Down low, down in the broken
I found you and I'm better for it

Bridge
I'm better 'cause I'll never have to be the way I would be
Without you, without you
Leading me where you want me
I'm better 'cause I'll never have to be the way I would be
Without you, without you
Leading me where you want me

Chorus
Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts, there's a real good reason
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it

Down low, down in the broken
I found you and I'm better for it
Down low, down in the broken
I found you and I'm better for it
Down low, down in the broken
I found you and I'm better for it
Down low, down in the broken
I found you and I'm better for it
