The Better Of Me
Dashboard Confessional
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We went back to the shore For the crash of the waves I love that sound and the curious comfort we found in each other Just like we did back in the day And the crackling clouds Of a storm out at sea And you broke me down just by leaning a little bit closer to me And yet still somehow leaning away Well, nobody told me Just how badly I'd grieve That I'd dig through my past That I'd keep looking back To find out who I wanted to be Have I forgotten How I let myself feel? How the slightest inflections Were like cuts that don't heal? And don't be mistaken That was true, I believe I was something, I swear it Before life got the better of me I think I know how you felt I didn't know how to leave But looking back it was easy to think you'd be better off But I shouldn't have left you that way Without saying it right Or even saying it wrong I just moved on, ripped you out of my chest And I picked up and left And just like a ghost I was gone Well, nobody told me Come on, kid, take your time Don't go rushing too fast 'Cause if you lose your path It's gonna be so hard to find Have I forgotten How I let myself feel? How the slightest inflections Were like cuts that don't heal? And don't be mistaken That was true, I believe I was something, I swear it Before life got the better of me Life is hard Just a series of battle scars From some fights we won And some fights we lost In a war that we never signed on for We keep holding our heads high Or hold each other and just cry And nobody's wrong And no lines are drawn And everyone's here And nobody's gone I was something, I swear it Before life got the better Before life got the better Before life got the better of me
