Better Than This
Pulled up to her driveway
In my beat up Honda Civic
And I parked it right next to her new
SUV
Then she walked out
From the gate to her backyard
She's just sitting pretty
While she's pretty much out of my
League
(Hooo hooo, hooo hooo)
(Hooo hooo, hooo hooo)
How the hell do do I
Stop myself from choking
Cause it's getting kinda weird
She looks at me wanting
Conversation and I smile back
With my crooked
Fucking teeth
If a picture is worth
A thousand words
Then I'm acting out
A silent movie
With a war in my head
And nothing coming
Out of my mouth
I always hoped I'd be better than this
But I might as well quit
Cause it's not getting anywhere
It's like 2 steps backwards
While falling forwards
On my face and I can't
Get up, get up
Cause all I ever do is drag myself and
Everyone else down
It's not that I don't care
I'm just afraid that you don't
Want me around
(Hooo hooo, hooo hooo)
(Hooo hooo, hooo hooo)
It's okay
I'm alright
I'll be just fine
I don't need a ride
I just need security
And a sense of self
That you provide
(Your head is in it but you're never
Gonna win it)
And if the winter can't freeze the
River
(Your head is in it but you're never
Gonna win it, no)
(Your head is in it but you're never
Gonna win it)
Then how could I ever
Learn to be brave
I always hoped I'd be better than this
But I might as well quit
Cause it's not getting anywhere
It's like 2 steps backwards
While falling forwards
On my face and I can't
Get up, get up
Cause all I ever do is drag myself and
Everyone else down
It's not that I don't care
I'm just afraid that you don't
Want me around
I'm no good with names
Or faces
But I'll never forget
The time we had
Together
(Aaaah)
That's why I put you in my songs
(That's why I put you in my songs)
That's why I put you in my songs)
And I'll never forget
The time we had
That's why I'm using you to get
Better
In my beat up Honda Civic
And I parked it right next to her new
SUV
Then she walked out
From the gate to her backyard
She's just sitting pretty
While she's pretty much out of my

(Hooo hooo, hooo hooo)
(Hooo hooo, hooo hooo)
