lyrics

Better Than Nothing
Artist: scraggo
Composer: David Emanuel Cohen

Been working all day
how-to books and drinking matte
getting closer but nowhere near
Mozart or Beyonce
you see me struggling
choking and fumbling
I need some truth to reach my ears
turn it up so I can hear you say

hey, ya know
it’s better than nothing
throwing those notes around the page
you’ll hit that bullseye someday
she said hey, ya know
it’s better than nothing
play those beats and strum those chords
you’ll write a hit some day

breaking my back tonight
nothing seems to be alright
guilty looks and a smoking gun
hunting for a line that’s on the run
this life I’m living
where nothing’s fitting
my intentions are all crystal clear
but the words don't come I need to hear you say

chorus

It’s in my heart
and that’s a start
just need the right words
to make the charts
