Better Than This

 

I thought that I was better than this

Better than not saying anything

And letting silence do the speaking for me

It’s easier, see

‘Cause either way I’m a dick

I thought that letting it sit

Was somehow better but it’s petty as shit

God forbid I just tell you the truth

I’m not into you

Even though you’d be fine with it

 

Because your first time

Should be with someone who cares

I want to be honest and fair, like

One night is all I’d be there, like

Maybe two or three but then you’ll find

I’m not that available

I make music and I work full time

I don’t push and I won’t pull

I know it’s bullshite

 

But I swear that I was gonna say this to your face

But a minute turns into an hour turns to a day

Which somehow sent this signal to my brain

That I could just drop it and everything would be okay

 

I thought that I was better than this

Better than not saying anything

And letting silence do the speaking for me

It’s easier, see

‘Cause either way I’m a dick

I thought that letting it sit

Was somehow better but it’s petty as shit

God forbid I just tell you the truth

I’m not into you

Even though you’d be fine with it

 

Because my first time

Which was not really my first time

She was the one I got burned by

Wanted her so bad it hurt

I can’t believe how much I’ve learned

I thought that it meant I was her guy

But she was just looking for her’s

I did not get a second or third night

Such a blurred line

 

‘Cause I never ended up seeing her ever again

And I would hate for that to be your experience

And after all this you’d think that I’d have some empathy

But your boy still left that text box empty

 

I thought that I was better than this

Better than not saying anything

And letting silence do the speaking for me

It’s easier, see

‘Cause either way I’m a dick

I thought that letting it sit

Was somehow better but it’s petty as shit

God forbid I just tell you the truth

I’m not into you

Even though you’d be fine with it
