You Can Do Better Than Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm starting to feel
we stay together out of fear of dying alone
I've been slipping through the years
my old clothes don't fit like they once did
so they hang like ghosts of the people I've been
and it's like my heart cant contain
I fall in love every day
and I feel like a fool
but I have to face the truth
that no one could ever look at me like you do
like I'm something worth holding on to
there's times I think of leaving
but it's something I'll never do
cause you can do better than me
but I can't do better than you
you can do better than me
but I can't do better than you
