Better Than I've Been

Give my love something to lose

Make this count

Smear its make-up, crack its crown call it out

Oh can it stay with you now?

I don’t need another easy love

Kindness can hurt just as much as an ending does

Leave your mark, show me where I am

I’ll learn to love better

Better than I

Better than

Better than I’ve been

Better than I’ve been

Give my love something to carry

Earn its keep

Empty arms don’t grow stronger

Protected hearts are weak

Oh can it stay with you now?

I don’t need another easy love

Kindness can hurt just as much as an ending does

Leave your mark, show me where I am

I’ll learn to love better

Better than I

Better than

Better than I’ve been

Better than I’ve been

Thought I’d been brave, cried real tears thought my love had been true

Folded my mess into letters, hid from view

Oh can I stay with you now?

I don’t need another easy love

Kindness can hurt just as much as an ending does

Leave your mark, show me where I am

I’ll learn to love better

Better than I

Better than

Better than I’ve been

Better than I’ve been
