Give You Better

In the public eye he's sweetness and light But it's a different story in the cover of night There's a dark side that he can't help but let rip And you, my dear, who takes the full brunt of it How many times have you followed him home while he shouts at his phone? Do you believe his boss keeps him in late? How many more lies can you take? Is a count of six rows in a seven day week a tally that you're keen to keep? He may not hit you but he's broken your things: You fix them as another storm spins I will give you better, I will give you better I will give you better Oh, you better believe I will write a letter, I will write a letter I will write a letter giving reasons to leave I will give you better, I will give you better I will give you better Oh, you better believe I will write a letter, I will write a letter I will write a letter giving reasons to leave The truth is that you like the white water rapids of a man who is out of control I can't give you this but if I was yours I'd assume the opposite role You like the white water rapids of a man who is out of control You know the beast wouldn't even care if his prey bolt the hole You don't need him like I need you You could leave him Oh why won't you? I know, I know Your type's a man who likes a fight I will give you better, I will give you better I will give you better Oh, you better believe I will write a letter, I will write a letter I will write a letter giving reasons to leave I will give you better, I will give you better I will give you better Oh, you better believe I will write a letter, I will write a letter I will write a letter giving reasons to leave From over here it's crystal clear This shatters every principle that you hold dear But you, who sees herself as strong Is going to disappear before too long Please, please, please read what I've sent It clearly lays out my intent: To give you space to be you again I haven't seen you smile since you've been with him I will give you better, I will give you better I will give you better Oh you better believe I will write a letter, I will write a letter I will write a letter giving reasons to leave I will give you better, I will give you better I will give you better Oh, you better believe I will write a letter, I will write a letter I will write a letter giving reasons to leave
