Take a length of string,
and tie it around your little finger.
'Cause it's hard to remember,
but you've got to remember
what you cannot forget.
I am your little brother,
and my heart opens up for you.
And I will do anything
I can do.
I know there's only so much
that a person can take,
and a heart that's been broken
can still break.
So I'll make you a promise,
and you'll have to wait to see if it's true:
Things can only get better now.
Things can only get better now for you.
Take a length of string,
and tie it around your little finger.
Things can only get better now.
Things can only get better now for you.
