A Lesson in Loving - Better Off

I’ve been learning a lesson

That I really don’t want to learn

Open diary

Dress her

In the words that hold my curse

So we grow apart

So separately

Ignite the hurt that scarred us in our youth

I hope to become new

And the truth is in tears behind my eyes

I’m afraid of losing my own life

Might have lost it for composure

Can I feel good again for the night

I’ve been learning a lesson

That God damned me to never learn

The worlds a bully that pushes

You’ve got to push back to make it work

So we grow apart so desperately

To find the rope that could tie us to something new

Can I be tied to you

And the truth is in tears behind my eyes

I’m afraid of losing my own life

Might have lost it for composure

Can I feel good again for the night

When you need me in the silence

Try to find me on a wire

When you need me in the silence

Try to find me out on a wire

I am hoping for an ocean

Bring new strength now, lift me open

Nothing ever seemed so hard

To be something

And the truth is in tears behind my eyes

I’m afraid of losing my own life

Might have lost it for composure

Can I feel good again for the night
