lyrics

In the blur of highway exit signs, I’m your laugh while you drive
But as I grip the wheel and strain my own eyes, you lay asleep by my side
Well my arms are weak, and my bones have grown sore from holding you with no support
We’ve been down this road too many times before, I’m not laughing anymore.

You said you wanted me the most
But empty words are only ghosts
Of love you could have given if you’d tried
But you could not be bothered to
Return the love I gave to you
I’m never more alone than by your side

I’ll always be better to you than you are to me
I’ll always be better for you than you are for me
I’ll always be better to you than you are to me
I’ll always be better for you

I can take the brush between my fingertips and paint red on my lips
Or I could waste away to the bones in my hips, you’d never notice
I was the one who called you when the world was unfair, nobody else cared
Now I watch the plans we made vanish into the air like they were never even there

And though your love was like the tide
So often on the shallow side
The light from mine could never pull you in
You took my heart so selfishly
And left me waiting endlessly
For love to grow on land that lay barren
Well now the seeds are settlin’

That I’ll always be better to you than you are to me
I’ll always be better for you than you are for me
I’ll always be better to you than you are to me
I’ll always be better for you

In the blur of highway exit signs,
I’m your laugh while you drive
