Lyrics

better

I look so much better so I guess I'm alright And I've got everything together and I'm glad I'm alive But everything feels better on the edge of a knife And I just really wish I didn't have to lie to you Start crying in my room I wanna be someone who You feel better around but I don't know if I can get better for you

Feels like I've turned my body inside out My head is burning like a machine, tryna' cool it down I've figured I'd have gotten used to this by now I've gotten nearly everything I ever hoped I'd have So why am I still sad? I teared myself in half Narcoleptic insomniac I didn't think that it would ever get this bad My favorite thing about you About you
