Better That Way
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.
Your coldness it sticks, it drips down my skin
It tells me not to let him in
Have you grown bolder now? It's alright baby
I will do almost anything you make me
Jamming the doors to my future down
They splinter they break, they hold me now
Second guess but it's over, you know lately
I'm jaded, I'm suffocating slowly
Just don't forget about me
I regret what I say
But you like it better that way
Keep me locked in my mistakes
Play them out like video games
You love it when I'm demure
You love it when I'm so unsure
Keep me in all that I've done
But I'll just break free and run
It's in my blood yeah it's calling, calling me now
It's in my blood yeah it's calling, calling, calling, calling
Try paralyse me it's over, it's over 'cos
I don't think that I am ready for that
Try paralyse me it's over, it's over 'cos
I don't think that I am ready for that
Mellow me down, put me in your box
Put out my fire, yeah keep me locked
Have I grown too aggressive? Oh I'm sorry
I'll simmer down and let you warp me
I regret what I say
But you like it better that way
Sink your teeth in my mistakes
Gaze at me through a nicotine haze
Slowly, killing the truth
I long for a human view but
What is there for me to do when
Honey I created you?
It's in my blood yeah it's calling, calling me now
It's in my blood yeah it's calling, calling, calling, calling
Try paralyse me it's over, it's over 'cos
I don't think that I am ready for that
Try paralyse me it's over, it's over 'cos
I don't think that I am ready for
I don't think that I am ready for that
I don't think that I am ready for that
