Give You Better - The Correspondents

In the public eye he’s sweetness and light

But it’s a different story in the cover of night

There’s a dark side that he can’t help but let rip

And you my dear who takes the full brunt of it

How many times have you followed him home, while he shouts at his phone?

Do you believe his boss keeps him in late?

How many more lies can you take?

Is a count of six rows in a seven day week

A tally that you’re keen to keep?

He may not hit you but he’s broken your things:

You fix them as another storm spins

(You fix them as another storm spins)

I will give you better, I will give you better

I will give you better

Oh you better believe

I will write a letter, I will write a letter

I will write a letter

Giving reasons to leave

I will give you better, I will give you better

I will give you better

Oh you better believe

I will write a letter, I will write a letter

I will write a letter

Giving reasons to leave

The truth is that you like the white water rapids

Of a man who is out of control

I can’t give you this but if

I was yours I’d assume the opposite role

You like the white water rapids

Of a man who is out of control

You know the beast wouldn’t even care

If his prey was bolt the hole

You don’t need him like I need you

You could leave him

Oh why won’t you

I know (I know)

Your types a man who likes a fight

I will give you better, I will give you better

I will give you better

Oh you better believe

I will write a letter, I will write a letter

I will write a letter

Giving reasons to leave

I will give you better, I will give you better

I will give you better

Oh you better believe

I will write a letter, I will write a letter

I will write a letter

Giving reasons to leave

From over here it’s crystal clear

This shatters every principle that you hold dear

And you who sees herself as strong

Is going to disappear before too long

Please please please read what I’ve sent

It clearly lays out my intent

To give you space to be you again

I haven’t seen you smile since you’ve been with him

I will give you better, I will give you better

I will give you better

Oh you better believe (better)

I will write a letter, I will write a letter

I will write a letter

Giving reasons to leave

I will give you better, I will give you better

I will give you better

Oh you better believe (better)

I will write a letter, I will write a letter

I will write a letter

Giving reasons to leave
