Something Better
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.
No matter what you say to me
A heart of stone and crooked teeth
I curse the dirt behind my heals
Oh I curse the one who doesn’t know how I feel
Of all the things I’ve said in vain
You know I never mentioned you by name
And though it’s all in the past
Oh I never could’ve of know how long this would last
'Cause all my life
I’ve seen these skies
It’s paradise, paradise
And every time
I leave this place
I’m terrified, terrified
What if it was just in my head
I should’ve listened to you instead
And all those times where I tried too hard
When all along I should have stayed on guard
You’d think that I would have learned by now
But I’m still working on learning how
To keep my mind in a quiet state
To finally keep my head on straight
'Cause all my life
I’ve seen these skies
It’s paradise, paradise
And every time
I leave this place
I’m terrified, terrified
And I still think back to that summer
Oh, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa, oh
And I hate that I still remember
Oh, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa, oh
But all this ends with something better
Oh, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa, oh
But all this ends with something better
Oh, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa, oh
