When I Can’t Do Better

[Verse 1]
Don't hold your love over my head
Please don't use it against me
Don't be that way tonight
Don't be that way tonight
Don't touch me with self-righteous hands
Promise you won't judge me
Don't walk away tonight

[Chorus]
Embrace me
Save me from myself
Don't you hate me
When I can't do better
Feel me
Heal me if you dare
It would kill me
To lose you forever, mm

[Post-Chorus]
When it gets dark and it just don't come easy
'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone
Stay with me now, oh
Pray for mе now
When I mean good
But the strеngth just ain't there to do good
Tell me we good
Talk to me now, when I can't do better

[Verse 2]
If I give you power to carry me
Don't you use that power just to bury me
It's been a long night
Fuck it, it's been a long life, mm
But the truth is, what I do with it is my biz 'til I'm through with it
And it's my bed so I lay in it 'cause I'm cool with it

[Chorus]
So embrace me
Save me from myself
Don't you hate me
When I can't do better
Feel me
Heal me if you dare
It would kill me
To lose you forever, mm
And I need you to know

[Post-Chorus]
When it gets dark and it just don't come easy
'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone
Stay with me now, oh-oh (With me now)
Pray for me now
When I mean good
But the strength just ain't there to be good
Tell me, we good?
Talk to me now, when I can't do better

[Outro]
When I can't do better
Ooh, baby, love me through it
We can do it, we can get through it
Oh, hey, hey, yeah
So embrace me, baby
Hold me, baby
When I can't do better
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
