I Could Be Better

lyrics

I'm sorry if I let you down
I'm finally finding out the worst parts of myself
And I can be hard to be around
And I give excuses but maybe I need some help

But I hate it when you look at me like that
Slamming doors and making out that I've come crawling back

I could be better
I could be strong enough for you
I could be happy
I could be laughing when you do
I could take these words right off the page
And claim it all as my mistake
Yeah I could be better
But you could too

You told me nothing's bad enough
That I will always be the one thing that you love
All the fighting, all the crying, all the trying to be us
Well you'll never give it up

But I hate it when you look at me like that
I give you everything I have and everything I lack

But I could be better
I could be strong enough for you
I could be happy
I could be laughing when you do
I could take these words right off the page
And claim it all as my mistake
Yeah I could be better
But you could too

We've been told before
Not to make a scene
Did so much shouting out
When I was seventeen

But I hated when you looked at me like that
I'm sorry for the things I said, I wish I took them back

And I hope that I'm better
I hope that I'm strong enough for you
I think that I'm happy
Now that I'm laughing when you do
I could erase these words if they make you hurt
But maybe that's not how this works
Cause I could be better
And you could too
Yeah I could be better
And you could too
Yeah I could be better
And you could too
