I like it a lot! Taking those phrases and giving them a different spin...very cool, very cool. The only thing I would change is:
Quote:

better doesn't make it alright, better doesn't make it tonight

since this throws the rhythm off a lot in the first verse.
Actually, rereading it, your rhythm changes a LOT through the course of the lyric. Maybe I'd have to hear it to get the full gist of it, but it might be a good idea to either make the meter more consistent or just call it a night and make this a free verse poem instead of a song.
