Better Than Him - Swim Taylor

I think this time you really broke me So can you let me go gently? 'Cause I'm not trying to start a war Right, I never should've done this in the first place 'Cause we were never really running at the same pace Now, I don't know if we're better than we were before Now it's the middle of the night I'm losing my mind This pain in my chest got me hoping that sometime We can make it better than it was before So tell me Just tell me that you love me Tell me that you don't I don't really care as long as I'm not alone We can make it better than it was before So tell me Tell me that you're here now, tell me that you're gone Tell me fucking anything 'cause I'm holding on We can make it better than it was before I tried to give you everything you needed Somehow I knew that I could never stop the bleeding It hurts, but it's best for the both of us Take a little bit of time away to feel the pain And I might forget what it's like to be feeling okay But I'll never forget you Now it's the middle of the night, I'm losing my mind This pain in my chest got me hoping that sometime We can make it better than it was before So tell me Tell me that you love me Tell me that you don't I don't really care as long as I'm not alone We can make it better than it was before So tell me Just tell me that you love me Tell me that you don't I don't really care as long as I'm not alone We can make it better than it was before So tell me Tell me that you're here now, tell me that you're gone Tell me fucking anything 'cause I'm holding on We can make it better than it was before

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it

Elevator buttons and morning air Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip-gloss smiles But I don't care, 'cause right now you're mine And you'll say, "Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours" And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong, and I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you 'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos Will be ignored, 'cause my heart is yours So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours They can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours

Tall, dark, and superman He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away To save the world or go to work It's the same thing to me He's got his mothers eyes, his father's ambition I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him I hang on every word you say And you smile and say, "How are you?" I'll say, "Just fine" I always forget to tell you I love you, I love you forever I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down Tall, dark and beautiful He's complicated, he's irrational But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah Something in his deep brown eyes has me singing He's not all bad like his reputation And I can't hear one single word they say And you leave, got places to be and I'll be okay I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down And I watch you fly around the world And I hope you don't save some other girl Don't forget, don't forget about me I'm far away but I'll never let you go I'm lovestruck and looking out the window Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be Right here, wishing the flowers were from you Wishing the card was from you Wishing the call was from you 'Cause I've loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around Forever and ever I watch superman fly away I swear, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la When you come back down
