Better Life

I've been up late watching you breathe
Wondering if you're going to leave
Don't tell me what you see
That you actually believe it
Fuck, I'm blue

And all those photos that you like of a
Better life, better wife, better nights, better high
Goddamn right I miss drinking
Yeah, I do

But I've been up late nights
Staring at the street lights
All the cigarette smoke
Can't escape a closing window

And my head's like
"What happened to, it's alright"
Baby, it's not alright
What if we're a closing window?

But I can't shake the feeling
That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
I can't shake (I can't shake the feeling) the feeling, ooh (I can't shake the feeling)
Do you picture a better life?
Mmm, mm, yeah

I found myself up late feeling kinda jealous
Looking at the bullshit, other people's wellness
And it's got me thinking
It's just not you (not you)

I've been all night looking in the eyes of my baby
Right in front of me, what a gift so amazing, ooh
And that's what's true

But I stay up late night
Screaming at the street lights (the street lights)
All the cigarette smoke
Filling up these hopeless lungs (hopeless lungs)

Oh, and my head's like (my head's like)
"What happens to, it's alright" (oh, what happens)
Baby, it's not alright
I feel like a closing window

But I can't shake the feeling (I can't shake the feeling)
(No, I can't shake the feeling) that you picture a
Better life, better wife, better nights, better high
I can't shake the feeling (I can't shake the feeling, oh baby), no
Do you picture a better life?

I can't seem to understand it
How did we get so low (how did we get so low)
No, no, no, no
I can't seem to understand it
How did we get so low (How)
No, no, no

(But I) I can't seem to understand it
(Can't shake the feeling) how did we get so low
That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high (no, no, no)
(I) I can't seem to understand it
(Can't shake the feeling) how did we get so low, ooh
Do you picture a better life?

Ooh, do you picture a better life?
Ooh, do you picture a better life?
And I wonder, and I wonder (mmm)
Do you picture a better life? (can't shake the feeling)
And I wonder (I can't shake the feeling)
Do you picture
Do you picture a better life?
