BETTER

We're running down church street in the rain
And I won't say her name anymore
Autumn clears the conscience like confession
And God, these last few years taught have taught me some lessons
I want your heart to be my safe place
I know you're healing at a different pace
You're moving in to mine and it feels right this time
Love is not the answer but I'll make it mine

So write names in the sand for me
Don't sit back quiet, I need all of you when all I see is blue weather
So put your heart on the line for me 'cause I've walked through fire to see
That all I want to do is learn to love you better

All of the broken pieces of your heart that she left
All of the healing that only happens in the next
All of the fear you're holding deep inside of your chest
All of the feelings that come to surface with each breath

And I'm not scared of truth, I'm scared of lies
I've cut down on my drinking but it's hard sometimes
I'm thinking 'bout the big things, is it too soon?
It's new for me, I'm sorry that it's not for you
You challenge me and I need that
And you touch me like your hands are meant to be there
And you crave, the way you look at me in the morning
I want to set in your horizon line, I want any-, everything

So write names in the sand for me
Don't sit back quiet, I need all of you when all I see is blue weather
So put your heart on the line for me 'cause I've walked through fire to see
That all I want to do is learn to love you better

All of the broken pieces of your heart that she left
All of the healing that only happens in the next
All of the fear you're holding deep inside of your chest
All of the feelings that come to surface with each breath

So write names in the sand for me
Don't sit back quiet, I need all of you when all I see is blue weather
So put your heart on the line for me 'cause I've walked through fire to see
That all I want to do is learn to love you better
