Lyrics

better

I keep a place in my heart
You know me better
I see your face in the dark
And this whole time
You've been my favourite part
It don't get much better than this

When will I see you again
I'll go where you're going
Why don't you leave all your friends
And gimme your time
You reach your head out the Benz
It don't get much better than this

We go right back round
And I like that sound
When you're drunk on love
And you won't pipe down in the morning

And you look so good
Where my ex ting stood
In a blacked-out dress
And a wry little smile on your mouth

I keep a place in my heart
You know me better
I see your face in the dark
And this whole time
You've been my favourite part
It don't get much better than this

When will I see you again
I'll go where you're going
Why don't you leave all your friends
And gimme your time
You reach your head out the Benz
It don't get much better than this

We go right back round
And I like that sound
When you're drunk on love
And you won't pipe down in the morning

And you look so good
Where my ex ting stood
In a blacked out dress
And a wry little smile on your mouth

Don't play with me
Beg you don't change up
So strange how I fell for a stranger
Don't play like a video game
Telling me we're ok
When we're really in danger

Drink straight from the bottle, no chaser
Good face like a model in papers
Set pace with your body in lace
And your money in place
So you never need favours

I keep a place in my heart
You know me better
I see your face in the dark
And this whole time
You've been my favourite part
It don't get much better than this

When will I see you again
Ill go where you're going
Why don't you leave all your friends
And gimme your time
You reach your head out the Benz
It don't get much better than this
