The Better Of Me
We went back to the shore
For the crash of the waves
I love that sound and the curious comfort we found in each other
Just like we did back in the day
And the cracklin' clouds
Of a storm out at sea
And you broke me down just by learnin' a little bit closer to me
And yet still somehow leaning away
Well, nobody told me
Just how badly I'd grieve
That I'd dig through my past
That I'd keep lookin' back
To find out who I wanted to be
Have I forgotten
How I let myself feel?
How the slightest inflections
Were like cuts that don't hеal?
And don't be mistaken
That was true, I bеlieve
I was somethin', I swear it
Before life got the better of me
I think I know how you felt
I didn't know how to leave
But looking back, it was easy to think you'd be better off
But I shouldn't have left you that way
Without sayin' it right
Or even sayin' it wrong
I just moved on, ripped you out of my chest
And I picked up and left
And just like a ghost, I was gone
Well, nobody told me
Come on, kid, take your time
Don't go rushin' too fast
'Cause if you lose your path
It's gonna be so hard to find
Have I forgotten
How I let myself feel?
How the slightest inflections
Were like cuts that don't heal?
And don't be mistaken
That was true, I believe
I was somethin', I swear it
Before life got the better of me
Life is hard
Just a series of battle scars
From some fights we won
And some fights we lost
In a war that we never signed on for
We keep holdin' our heads high
Or hold each other and just cry
And nobody's wrong
And no lines are drawn
And everyone's here
And nobody's gone
I was somethin', I swear it
Before life got the better
Before life got the better
Before life got the better of me
For the crash of the waves
I love that sound and the curious comfort we found in each other
Just like we did back in the day
And the cracklin' clouds
Of a storm out at sea
And you broke me down just by learnin' a little bit closer to me
And yet still somehow leaning away
Well, nobody told me
Just how badly I'd grieve
That I'd dig through my past
That I'd keep lookin' back
To find out who I wanted to be
Have I forgotten
How I let myself feel?
How the slightest inflections
Were like cuts that don't hеal?
And don't be mistaken
That was true, I bеlieve
I was somethin', I swear it
Before life got the better of me
I think I know how you felt
I didn't know how to leave
But looking back, it was easy to think you'd be better off
But I shouldn't have left you that way

Or hold each other and just cry
And nobody's wrong
And no lines are drawn
And everyone's here
And nobody's gone
I was somethin', I swear it
Before life got the better
Before life got the better
Before life got the better of me
