Better This Time

[Verse 1: Esme] We try We dream Close my eyes Hear me breathe through wounded lungs We shout and scream Just to do it all over again [Pre-Chorus: Esme] Warm breath hits the cold Your eyes on the road Wonder if you know I missed it when you spoke [?] You said [Chorus: Esme] Maybe we could make it if we try Count the moments as they pass me by I'm not sure what you had in your mind But I’m hoping that you understand That I know better this time Better this time [Verse 2: Esme] A thorn that weeps It's not real Make-believe It makes me feel too at ease We're only human [Pre-Chorus: Esme] Warm breath hits the cold (Warm breath hits the cold) Your eyes on the road (Your eyes on the road) Wonder if you know (Wonder if you know) I was listening when you spoke You said [Chorus: Esme] Maybe we could make it if we try (Over the edge, over the line) Count the moments as they pass me by (Falling apart, falling in line) I’m not sure what you had in your mind (Covered in gold, covered in lies [?]) But I'm hoping that you understand That I know [Bridge: Esme] This time I'll be gone Gone before you notice 'Cause I just can't I can't fall back down I don't need your hand I'm just covered in, covered in All this time I don’t fall back twice I’m just covered in, covered by you [Chorus: Esme] Maybe we could make it if we try Count the moments as they pass me by I'm not sure what you had on your mind But I hope I’ll know better this time (Over the edge, over the line) Better this time (Falling apart, falling in line) (Covered in gold, covered in lies [?]) [Refrain: Esme, Esme & Emerson] Better this time I can't hold myself up You keep pulling me down I can't hold myself up You keep pulling me down I can't hold myself up You keep pulling me down I can’t hold myself up You keep pulling me down
