"better" lyrics

"better"

You gotta settle down
Feel your breathing
Start to shake up
Just gotta hear me out
No it doesn't have to be your fault
Oh
You try to tell me I'm the broken one
When you're the only one
Feeling like you're not enough
I know my issues feel like they're your exit door
They make you insecure
But you know what they're looking for

So baby
Shut up
Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to let it out
I know it's too much to handle
Now you just wanted to stop
Don't want to complicate it
Don't want to let you down
You think I'm better
So I'll just pretend I'm better now

You think I'm better so I
Say I'm better now
You think I'm better so I
Say I'm better now

You gotta settle down
No your fears they never make sense
It's hard to stay around
If the honesty is poisonous
Oh
You try to tell me I'm the broken one
When you're the only one
Feeling like you're not enough
You're turning all my issues into exit doors
Can't fix how insecure
You get when I can't give you more

So baby
Shut up
Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to let it out
I know it's too much to handle
Now you just wanted to stop
Don't want to complicate it
Don't want to let you down
You think I'm better
So I'll just pretend I'm better now

You think I'm better so I
Say I'm better now
You think I'm better so I
Say I'm better now

You say we're problematic
You say we're out of time
It's getting harder and harder
To say what's on my mind
You say you trust me baby
Well can you trust me
When I say I'm fine

So baby
Shut up
Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to let it out
I know it's too much to handle
Now you just wanted to stop
Don't want to complicate it
Don't want to let you down
You think I'm better
So I'll just pretend I'm better now

You think I'm better so I
Say I'm better now
You think I'm better so I
Say I'm better now

Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to let it out
I know it's too much to handle
Now you just wanted to stop
Don't want to complicate it
Don't want to let you down
You think I'm better
So I'll just pretend I'm better now
