Better

I should be
I should be
I should be better

You and me
You and me
We could be better

You don't mean
You don't mean
What you said

Head to bed
Super Late
Good night, anyways

I should be
I should be
I should be better

You and me
You and me
We could be better

You don't mean
You don't mean
What you said

Head to bed
Super Late
Good night, anyways

When did it stop being about the LORD
I don't know for sure
I testify every time I write the lines that tore me more
Every morning I stapled my eyelids awake
Writing high
Feeling effervescent
I'm reminiscent of the times
I know
It wasn't for me to go set stages ablaze
Passing myself off as Yahweh
Man, that left me astray
Always searching deeper
Always looking for pain
My only love came from a bottle and some more from heartbreak
Always giving my heart away to another pretty face
Just to be left with my shame
I packed my bags and left her before she wakes
Leaving smoke rings in the dark
And tears up, up on her face
But I guess that happens
When Grace leaves that place
And I can never change
(Never change)
Lord, I never ceased to realize your goodness
In my life
Written to ripped up pages
Let me take you back to a different time
Watching time passed me by
Wasting lines
All of mine
Never really realized
The goodness that you do
(Oooh)

I should be
I should be
I should be better

You and me
You and me
We could be better

You don't mean
You don't mean
What you said

Head to bed
Super Late
Good night, anyways

I should be
I should be
I should be better

You and me
You and me
We could be better

You don't mean
You don't mean
What you said

Head to bed

Ay girl, don't worry 'bout the consequences
Is what they say
The only time I tell you the truth
Is when I'm spitting in this studio booth
Darling, it's got me asking
What's more likely for us
Are we falling down, in love
Or loveless passion
Girl, What's happening
Complications got me searching for your heart
And I'm passing 'em
Convos got cut short back in them days
We was lasting in
Packed our bags for Virginia first flight
Tend to look back even though we know right
Ripping pages out of the book
And we still write even try to outlast the pen
In the floodlights
Late night typed out messages that left me second guessing
And left me in the dark
With my heart and it's pressing
My depression is on fire with all my lies
And life lessons
All my notions of leaving you tears me apart
And it's testing my faith
Testing my truth
Knowing pain and anguish is all I do
Knowing I hurt you girl, is something I wished I'd never done
Things I never said
Or maybe all the times I should've run
There's no what if's in life
So I know I have to live with what I've done

I should be
I should be
I should be better

You and me
You and me
We could be

You don't mean
You don't mean
What you said

Head to bed
Super Late
Good night, anyways

I should be
I should be
I should be better

You and me
You and me
We could be better
(Be Better)

Be Better
(I should be, I should be, I should be better)

Be Better
(You and me, you and me, we could be better)

Be Better
(You don't mean, you don't mean what you said)

Be Better
(Head to bed super late, good-)
