Love You Better

You say don't write me one more fable

And that you're feeling so unstable

But I could be the stone you tie your rope to

We've lived

Through all our

Feeling recessions

Of tired winters

And summer depressions

Hands at the keys

You're why I

Live and breathe

We spiral into family dramas

Protecting me like

Trauma's armour

You have to be

The consistency I need

Hold onto hoping

That I'd give you more

Shared the best and the worst parts

Is that what love's for?

I wish I could love you better

I wish I could love you better

Hold onto hoping

That I'd give you more

Shared the best and the worst parts

Is that what love's for?

I wish I could love you better

I wish I could love you better

Two-thousand eighteen

Decided your own fate

Took the train down from Edinburgh

Met my mother at the gate

So claustrophobic in a

Grief and sorrowed state

Guess sometimes it snows in April

I'm still missing you in May

I still feel guilty for

Things I didn't say

Glass table girls make me feel sick

As I re-play

I'm feeling better now

But there's one thing that remains

You're always there

I can feel you there

Almost see you there

Do you see me?

And I

Hold onto hoping

That I'd give you more

Shared the best and the worst parts

Is that what love's for?

I wish I could love you better

I wish I could love you better

Hold onto hoping

That I'd give you more

Shared the best and the worst parts

Is that what love's for?

I wish I could love you better

I wish I could love you better

Wish I could

Love you better than me
