Better Off

(álbum: Handguns - 2011)

You can't cut me open
Right before I'm supposed to leave
It's not half an ocean
It's more likely two or three
And I can't swim so I'll probably drown

I won't let you stop loving me
Though I can't make you stay
If there's something between us changing
Let's pretend it's better this way

In the morning as well as the evening
And every time I'm alive in my bed
It's so quiet without the company
And you didn't take your things when you left
I can't hear so I'll probably keep waiting

I won't let you stop loving me
Though I can't make you stay
If there's something between us changing
Let's pretend it's better this way

If I'm hopeless, loathsome, and sorry
While I'm waiting for a second chance to roll
There's no black 23 or a clear path ahead
I'll just stumble and hope to come back
And I can't see so I'll probably fall

I won't let you stop loving me
Though I can't make you stay
If there's something between us changing
Let's pretend it's better this way
Let's pretend it's better this way
Let's pretend it's better this way
