Love You Better

[Verse 1]
If you left I couldn't look at my phone without thinking you're gonna text
I wear the shirt you got me with the pocketed chest
I won't be able to sit down at my desk
Where all the notes you wrote for me live before you left

I couldn't use the pen you got me with the ball pointed end
Well maybe if I use it to write about a band
Then drown the paper in the tears you're making me spend
Till they're all sold out from this heartbreaking trend

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to watch pieces fall out of place
I don't want to think about your precious face

[Chorus]
I just wanna love you better
I just wanna love you better
All the heat we bring has got us burning down
Let it keep you warm while I am learning how
Learning how to love you better
I just wanna love you better

[Verse 2]
If you left I wouldn't eat or sleep or last the dreams throw dirt on my thoughts
Cause thinkin's got me drinking anyway so why not
I'll do what you want until I get what I lost
And I'll never start to care what it'll cost

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to watch pieces fall out of place
I don't want to take up all your precious space

[Chorus]
I just wanna love you better
I just wanna love you better
All the heat we bring has got us burning down
Let it keep you warm while I am learning how
Learning how to love you better
I just wanna love you better

[Bridge]
What if I marry you and everything changes
You'll hate the parts of me you thought would be painless
I knew what you didn't defend me when I said
I wasn't good for you it would get to my head
I live denying the possibility of
Watching it all fall apart and draining our love
I don't care if I try and fail forever
I'll die knowing I tried to love you better
