BETTER Lyrics

This Year

I'm done protecting feelings

Steer Clear

Because I won't hesitate

To make sure you know the consequence

Of leading girls on

Leaving them on read

Oh if I was a walking red flag

Maybe you'd have liked me better?

And if I broke down when you left

Maybe you would've felt better?

Oh is it an ego thing? A turn on?

Maybe see a therapist

Do you get a thrill from ghosting?

Lie back in your un-made bed

If I am but a number

You're a line in a song

You should've known better

Than to do me wrong

Last year

I didn't protect any peace

I let stupid boy walk over every insecurity

all over every single app, swipe left, swipe right

I should have gotten married back in 1995

Oh if I was a walking red flag

Maybe you'd have liked me better?

And if I broke down when you left

Maybe you would've felt better?

Oh is it an ego thing? A turn on?

Maybe see a therapist

Do you get a thrill from ghosting?

Lie back in your un-made bed

If I am but a number

You're a line in a song

You should've known better

Than to do me wrong

It's all platitudes, baby

You say I drive you crazy

It's never been like this before (so better)

And my ambition is attractive

My eyes are so distracting

And when I talk you want to hear more (so better!)

And I be a food to not fall

But I know once and for all

You love the chase to take me home

But then you'll run away, please

Spare me from your "sympathy"

'Cause I know it down to my bones

Oh if I was a walking red flag

Maybe you'd have liked me better?

And if I broke down when you left

Maybe you would've felt better?

Oh is it an ego thing? A turn on?

Maybe see a therapist

Do you get a thrill from ghosting?

Lie back in your un-made bed

If I am but a number

You're a line in a song

You should've known better

And I knew all along

That I'd write you into a song

And everyone will sing along

Because we all know "that guy"

The one who's obviously compensating for something he needs to deal with

By himself!!!!

Go on! Try the single life

By Yourself!!!

It would be better for everybody's mental health

If you got off the dating apps, and into therapy

Just a tip to you from me
