Lyrics
That’s me there right by the door
Standing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her
And take her up to the second floor
Everybody’s dancing around me
I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to love?
Time after time, I bullshit and lie
In cold blood, In cold blood
Cause time after time, I’d tell you that I never cared once
Don’t I know you’ve wasted my energy
And tore up the best of me
My thoughts are shaking, contracting
A result of my head that is spinning
From too much oxygen
That I will blame
That’s me there right by the door
Standing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her
And take her up to the second floor
Everybody’s dancing around me
I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to
Love and to lose?
I wish that I never knew you
So I told you I need space
But I wish that you were at my door
God I’m just so tired of faking
Crying on the bathroom floor
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to love
He’s got a look in his eyes
Hair slicked back and tied up
Looks real good, and he knows it
I wait for a sign, his gaze it meets mine
But there I’m stood
All alone, you’ve wasted my energy
And tore up the best of me
My thoughts are shaking, contracting
Don’t I know you after a couple drinks
Your mouth it starts spilling things
Your hand’s on her waist
And that’s me there right by the door
Standing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her
And take her up to the second floor
Everybody’s dancing around me
I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to
Love and to lose?
I wish that I never knew you
So I told you I need space
But I wish that you were at my door
God I’m just so tired of faking
Crying on the bathroom floor
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to love
With your secret smiles and your bright blue eyes
Yeah you look like paradise
Ima hope all night that you don’t turn out like all the other boys
With your skin like gold on a sunset road
Ima hope you know that God I’ve been hoping you’ll stay a while
I’m standing right by the door
Dancing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her
And take her up to the second floor
Everybody’s dancing around me
I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to
Love and to lose?
I wish that I never knew you
So I told you I need space
But I wish that you were at my door
God I’m just so tired of faking
Crying on the bathroom floor
Somebody tell me who said it was
Better to love
“yeah. I think I might bin it off”
