You Better - Lori McKenna

When I woke up late

I overslept into my life

So now it’s 5pm

But to me it feels like noon time

I gotta get up, gotta go out

Like some weird dream

I just can’t figure out

No one wants to see

A grown woman have to cry

But it’s not far to fall

When on the dirt looking at the sky

But I lucked out because he didn’t lie

When he told me he loved me, yeah…

You know I shutter when I hear your angry voice

You know me better than I know myself

You told me you’d love me forever, whatever that is

You better —

Cause you love me better than I love myself

I could have wrote that movie

About the teenage marriage that went bad one day

If we broke up, it would suck

But it’d make a good screenplay

But it’s a love song because you’re in my bed

I got the soundtrack and it’s playing in my head

It’s playing in my head and it says…

You know I shatter when I see that look in your eye

Cause you know me better than I know myself

You told me you’d show me the ocean and give me the sky

You better —

Cause you love me better than I love myself

I don’t know all the names

For the useless burdens in my soul

But I will lay them down and lay with you and let them go

Feel comfortable underneath my skin

Can’t afford to lose this love we are in, this love we are in

I said…

Cause you know I shatter when I see that look in your eye

You know me better than I know myself

You told me you’d show me the ocean and give me the sky

I said you better —

Cause you love me better than I love myself… yeah.

You better, yeah…

I said now…
