Devon Halliday - Better

I had my sinking ship and no one to save
We had a couple drinks that colored your face
I saw your hollow heart and picked out a space
Said I've got nothing but come back to my place

All bones and midnight phones, we tried to feel new
You talked of former loves like I was one too
I climbed the highest point of all that I knew
You wouldn't come, you didn't care for the view
Which after all is up to you

You liked me broken, but I'm better
Candlelit wounds we licked together
All our last-ditch lines and borrowed lullabies
Acting like lovers would
You watched me rise as if you never could
Darling I found something good
Darling I found something good

Meet me for coffee somewhere, promise I'll pay
Tell me your stories, man they all sound the same
The sun is slipping, minutes falling like rain
You ask for hope then you refute it with pain
I used to be your basket case

You liked me broken, but I'm better
Candlelit wounds we licked together
All our last-ditch lines and borrowed lullabies
Acting like lovers would
You watched me rise as if you never could
Darling I found something good
You know I found something good

And I can carry your umbrella
You can carry my mascara
But I can't carry you
And you can't carry me
You say you're happy for my happiness
But if you could you would correct it
So I could be like you
And you could be like me
How tragic we would be
Which after all is what you seek

You liked me broken, but I'm better
Candlelit wounds we licked together
All our last-ditch lines and borrowed lullabies
Acting like lovers do
You offered me the best life that you knew
But I found something good
Darling I found something good
