"The only person you should be better than is the person you were yesterday"


Verse 1
I was naive once upon a time
calling it love was my whitest white lie
and breaking his heart killed me inside
Every day since, i’ve been terrified to fall
what if next time im not the wrecking ball
the one to hear that one word, 7 letters long

I’m not an easy girl to love
but you hold on when I come undone

Chorus
You always ask for 1 more kiss 3 kisses ago
Your begging lips say a sad sweet “baby don’t go”
My smell lingering on your pillow after I leave
You drive with 1 hand while the other’s tangled up in mine
Making you lose the fight over the radio cuz you’re holdin tight
The way I hold on to every goodnight beautiful until morning
I’ve realized the only thing you hate more
than having to say goodbye
Is when you have to say it to me

Verse 2
You are sixteen and I am seventeen
You took every cent of innocent from me
And nothing so wrong ever felt so right
Sometimes I ask God if I am awake
Because I swear there’s got to be some mistake
If I’m dreaming don’t let me open my eyes
Don’t let me open

Chorus
You always ask for 1 more kiss 3 kisses ago
Your begging lips say a sad sweet “baby don’t go”
My smell lingering on your pillow after I leave
You drive with 1 hand while the other’s tangled up in mine
Making you lose the fight over the radio cuz youre holdin tight
The way I hold on to every goodnight beautiful until morning
I’ve realized the only thing you hate more than saying goodbye
Is when you have to say it to me

Bridge
You think making me mad is so damn funny
Your lips, my favorite interruption when i’m trying to speak
You are so far from perfect but darling
You’re perfect for me

Chorus
You always ask for 1 more kiss 3 kisses ago
Your begging lips say a sad sweet “baby don’t go”
My smell lingering on your pillow after I leave
You drive with 1 hand while the other’s tangled up in mine
Making you lose the fight over the radio cuz youre holdin tight
The way I hold on to every goodnight beautiful until morning
I’ve realized the only thing you hate more
than having to say goodbye
Is when you have to say it to me


I swear I won’t say it to you
If you don’t say it to me
