Build a Better World

[Verse 1]
I've been on my way down
I've been livin' with the lights out
Get in trouble by the idle sounds of the day-to-day
I know I let you down
I did nothing to protect you
Didn't know how much you went through
And now it's too late

[Chorus]
I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you

[Post-Chorus]
I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause
I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that—

[Chorus]
I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you

[Verse 2]
Because you are the only feeling that I know
And lovers are left to fight it now you've gone
I followed your fire 'cause I need you to know
I'd build a better world for you

[Bridge]
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

[Verse 3]
Weights heavy on me now
Thinking 'bout all that you went through
Doing anything to numb your way to an empty space
Staring at the ceiling
Trying to figure out a meaning
Trying to buy into the feeling
Of a better place

[Chorus]
I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you

[Post-Chorus]
I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause
I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that—

[Chorus]
I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you
For you
For you
