Autumn (I Wish I Was Better)

(Album: Overexposed - 2017)

I feel my soul come alive
When I watch the leaves die
But I'm still turning gold
From the glow that I saw in your eyes

Writing letters to a ghost
Of who you once were
I plagiarized every line
Cause I can't remember

Now I miss every friend I never found
Nicotine and a knack for letdowns
I've been trying to find the words to say
To get you back around

I never had the chance to get it right
Woah woah, but I never tried
I gotta find the words I wanna write
To tell you that I'll be better next time

You felt your heart come alive
When you watched our love die
Now I'm left feeling cold
From the void that you made in my life

Now I miss every friend I ever found
Caffeine and a knack for letdowns
I've been trying to find the words to say
To keep you all around

I never had the chance to get it right
Woah woah, but I never tried
I gotta find the words I wanna write
To tell you that I'll be better next time

Come close, I'll keep my distance
Can't hurt people you don't let in
I want to be something you still miss
Oh god I wish that I was better than this.
