LOVE'S BETTER THAN THIS

i was young and naive

held up my walls

you just broke through them all

always something on your sleeve

next thing i know you've got my heart in it

told me you would never leave

and baby, i believed

always did what you want

come and go, break me, love

isn't supposed to hurt

thought that i wasn't enough

when the truth is you ran

because i felt too much

still you always return

guess we're stuck with each other

and this four-letter word

you broke my goddamn heart

pick me up every time only to let me fall

when i'm alone in the dark

hurt me over and over but it's your name i call

and with you the smiles come with tears

and you leave me alone in the rain

losing you was my biggest fear

but baby, your love is pain

and i'm sick of breaking myself

i'm sick of begging for love

i want you and nobody else

could love you as much as i do

so i lied when i said i didn't care

and you lied when you said

you would always be there

so i guess we're both liars

and love's better than this.
