Better for You

The moments I made out with you
In the parking lot, off the avenue
The windows fogged right up
And no one could see us
The night that I was drunk and couldn't walk
I stumbled through rooms past broken clocks
I came up behind you, I kissed your neck
The night we stopped outside your house
I closed my eyes and cried them out
I turned my head away as I pushed you away

Let me bleed myself dry
Let me go this time
Let me run a thousand miles
And if I don't return by night

You can love someone else
You can hold someone new
You can cry on his shoulder
And he'll help you through
No, you won't like his hands
Or the way that he moves
No, he won't be perfect
But he's better for you
Better for you

The scars on my wrist I showed to you
The spot on my back that was beaten blue
The lines I crossed to save myself from getting hurt
The lists I make inside my head
Would you be upset if I was dead
I didn't mean to scare my baby girl away
You reached for my arms and then for my heart
The windows were up the car was so hot
I was losing myself and taking you with

Let me bleed myself dry
Let me go this time
Let me run a thousand miles
And if I don't return by night

You can love someone else
You can hold someone new
You can cry on his shoulder
And he'll help you through
No, you won't like his hands
Or the way that he moves
No, he won't be perfect
But he's better for you

You can love someone new
You can hold someone else
You can cry on his shoulder
He won't put you through hell
No, he won't have my hands
Or the way that I move
No, he won't be perfect
But he's better for you
Better for you
