Better Than That

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see you flinch when he calls Like your heart knows the script You laugh, but it lands wrong And you hide it in a sip You keep saying "it's fine" But your eyes tell the truth That tired look in your face I know what it means to you [Pre-Chorus] If you want out, say the word I won't make you explain You don't need to keep on losing sleep For somebody's name [Chorus] I can love you better Better than that I can hold you steady When you look back You don't need more tears You don't need that pain I can love you better Better than that [Verse 2] I've watched you give and give Till there's nothing left to prove He keeps leaving you empty While I keep room for you No more second guesses No more running around If you step toward me now I won't let you down [Pre-Chorus] If you want out, say the word I won't make you pretend You don't need to keep on bleeding For a love that won't bend [Chorus] I can love you better Better than that I can hold you steady When you look back You don't need more tears You don't need that pain I can love you better Better than that [Bridge] Come closer, let it go Let the old hurt fade If you choose me tonight I'll be the one who stays [Final Chorus] I can love you better Better than that I can hold you steady When you look back You don't need more tears You don't need that pain I can love you better Better than that (Better than that) (Better than that)
