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.
