Better Than Who? Lyrics

Maybe in a few years I'll see you

Hanging outside with your friends

You'll get up from your chair pretend

It's nice to see me again

Then

That's it

We'll part

Affairs of the heart

Over when they start

Begging for atonement

Give in too late

I'm so hard to date

Say the wrong thing in the right

Couldn't fix it on my own

Thought I knew well enough to know

Better

Better than who?

And when you find another love

I hope she treats you like a dove

And is better

Better for you

Got a call from an old friend last night

Said he was checking up on me

Told me a story how you told him

That you knew

I was way out of your league

The defense

It rests

Feeding from the breast

Of an empty chest

Monkey hugging wire

Blankets warm but colder

Then when you would hold her

So cut her up

And throw her on the fire

Couldn't fix it on my own

Thought I knew well enough to know

Better

Better than who?

And when you find another love

I hope she treats you like a dove

And is better

Better for you

God how it hurts,

You couldn't handle me at my worst

God, how it hurts

You couldn't handle me at my worst

God, how it hurts to know

You couldn't handle me at my worst

God, how it hurts to know

You couldn't handle me at my worst

God, how it hurts to know

You couldn't handle me at my worst

God, how it hurts to know

You couldn't handle me at my worst
