Autumn (I Wish I Was Better)

[Verse 1] I feel my soul come alive when I watch the leaves die But I'm still turning gold from the glow that I saw in your eyes Writing letters to a ghost of who you once were I plagiarize every line, 'cause I can't remember [Pre-Chorus] Now I miss every friend I never found Nicotine and a knack for let-downs I've been trying to find the words to say To get you back around [Chorus] I never had a chance to get it right (Noo-o-o) But I never tried I can't find the words I wanna write To tell you that I'll be better next time [Verse 2] You felt your heart come alive when you watched our love die (Whoa-oa, whoa-oa) And now I'm left feeling cold in the void that you laid in my life (Whoa-oa, whoa-oa) [Pre-Chorus] Now I miss every friend I never found Caffeine and a knack for let-downs I've been trying to find the words to say To keep you all around (To keep you all around) [Chorus] I never had a chance to get it right (Noo-o-o) But I never tried I gotta find the words I wanna write To tell you that I'll be better next time [Bridge] Come close, I'll keep my distance Can't hurt people you don't let in I want to be something you still miss Oh God, I wish that I was better than this
