Better Than Nothing - Sarah Jaffe

How can someone who wants to be loved

Hate it when they’re loved at all?

Does guilt really feel that bad?

Every time I take a breath, honey

I feel the weight fall back on me Somebody tell me it’s not so bad

Collected thoughts drown in sleep

I had forgotten what you mean to me

I forgot a lot of things

What happens to the old girl, what happens to the boy?

I see their eyelids moving

What happens to the old boy, will he be destroyed?

Is this what I’m losing?

But I feel, feel

But I feel something, oh it’s better than nothing

I’ve been sleeping in his bed

I’m digging in my head

He pulls the cash from under the table

Take that breath and hold it in Oh it’s sidling in, he says

It’s not so bad

Collected thoughts drown in sleep

I had forgotten what you mean to me

I forgot a lot of things

What happens to the old girl, what happens to the boy?

I see their eyelids moving

What happens to the old boy, will he be destroyed?

Is this what I’m losing?

But I feel, feel

But I feel something, oh it’s better than nothing

How can someone who wants to be loved

Hate it when they’re loved at all?

Does guilt really feel that bad?

Every time I take a breath, honey

I feel the weight fall back on me Somebody tell me it’s not so bad

Collected thoughts drown in sleep

I had forgotten what you mean to me

I forgot a lot of things

What happens to the old girl, what happens to the boy?

I see their eyelids moving

What happens to the old boy, will he be destroyed?

Is this what I’m losing?

But I feel, feel

But I feel something, oh it’s better than nothing

I’ve been sleeping in his bed

I’m digging in my head

He pulls the cash from under the table

Take that breath and hold it in Oh it’s sidling in, he says

It’s not so bad

Collected thoughts drown in sleep

I had forgotten what you mean to me

I forgot a lot of things

What happens to the old girl, what happens to the boy?

I see their eyelids moving

What happens to the old boy, will he be destroyed?

Is this what I’m losing?

But I feel, feel

But I feel something, oh it’s better than nothing
