Better Than This

(album: Elsewhere - 2022)

Wide awake on the couch
Don't know what we're fighting about
This isn't the first time
Said some things I didn't mean
Acting like we're seventeen
I hate making you cry

Running out of times to apologize

I need to love you better than this
What am I doin'?
One more slip and I'm gonna lose you
I got to get my shit together and love you better, yeah
Better before you change your mind and slam the front door
Leave me behind
And I think I'd hate myself forever
I need to love you better than this
'Cause there's nothing better than this, no

Swear to God, I'll get it right
Won't turn my best into a lie
I'll pay more attention
I don't want all of this
To turn into what could've been
A chance at redemption

Running out of times to apologize

I need to love you better than this
What am I doin'?
One more slip and I'm gonna lose you
I got to get my shit together and love you better, yeah
Better before you change your mind and slam the front door
Leave me behind
And I think I'd hate myself forever
I need to love you better than this, oh, yeah
'Cause there's nothing better than this, no

Shadows on the ceiling
Like I'm upside down and feeling
Like I don't even know me at all
Waiting for permission
To be everything I'm missing
Isn't the way I planned this at all

I need to love you better than this
What am I doin'?
One more slip and I'm gonna lose you
I got to get my shit together and love you better, yeah
Better before you change your mind and slam the front door
Leave me behind
And I think I'd hate myself forever
I need to love you better than this, oh, yeah
'Cause there's nothing better than this, no-no-no
I wanna love you better than this
There's nothing better than this, no
I need to love you better than this
