Version of Me - Kimbra

Next time I’ll be kinder with you

There’s just this habit that I have

I throw my words around like fire

They catch on your good heart and your peace of mind

Next time I’ll be kinder

If I learn to take it lighter when you

Tell me there’s something that I lack

Would that make you change your mind?

Would that make it better and buy me some time?

'Cause I’m damned if I do

And I’m damned if I don’t

Every time I swear I will

You say that I won’t

But there’s a better version of me

Stay for the person I’ll be

If there’s a next time I’ll fight harder for you

Won’t take for granted what we had

I wake with you in mind but I’m tired

Of all these different phases

Are all these faults of mine?

'Cause I’m damned if I’m true

And I’m damned if I’m right

Every time you say I’ll lose

I swear that I’m trying

If there’s a better version of me

Would you stay for the person I’ll be?

Stay for the person I’ll be

Stay for the person I’ll be

Stay for the person I’ll be

Stay for the person I’ll be

Stay for the person I’ll be

Stay for the person I’ll be
