"Somebody Better" lyrics

"Somebody Better"

California sun
I watched you pray you wouldn't fall in love
Then torn apart
The buckles break are the price you pay for

Lonely nights eat you inside
Send me a sign
Tell me what's real when I'm living a lie

I guess I'll learn
To be somebody better
I won't get burned
And stay here forever

When I'm somebody better

Oh so dangerous
When being friends you know is best for us
My reflection
You stare straight back with good intention

Lonely nights eat you inside
Send me a sign
Tell me what's real when I'm living a lie

I guess I'll learn
To be somebody better
I won't get burned
And stay here forever
Mistakes undone and wasted together
I guess I'll learn
To be somebody better

All they say
No regrets
And how did we make such a mess
Oh no
Here we go again
Promised you wouldn't get attached and
After all that's said and done
You can be somebody better
When the light of day has gone
I'll be somebody better

Tell me what's real when I'm living a lie

I guess I'll learn
To be somebody better
I won't get burned
To stay here forever
Mistakes undone and wasted together
I guess I'll learn
To be somebody better
