Better Half Lyrics by Jawbreaker

Etc.

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I see him coming
We hold our rocks; we are ready
The things we'll do to him
They aren't fit for anyone
Hey, this is serious business
I'm gonna hate myself
Still, I just can't wait to begin
[Verse 2]
The monster inside me
He can't be talked out of anything
He's got an appetite
Oh no, he's hungry now
I just gotta restrain him
The seam inside me grows
Kiss your better half goodbye
[Chorus]
And all those things you trusted in (come and gone)
The man that you pride yourself on (come and gone)
All the control you think you hold (come and gone)
Anything that can go wrong
Will find itself come and gone
[Verse 3]
His body lies broken
Well, hey, some harsh words were spoken
And I feel terrible
It just got away
Had to make him pay
For the hole in my heart
It's been my fault from the start
[Chorus]
And all those things you trusted in (come and gone)
The man that you pride yourself on (come and gone)
All the control you think you hold (come and gone)
Anything that can go wrong
Will find itself come and gone
[Verse 4]
The monster inside me
He can't be talked out of anything
He's got an appetite
Oh no, he's hungry now
I just gotta restrain him
The seam inside me grows
Kiss your better half goodbye
[Chorus]
And if you think it all makes sense
Can you tell the difference
Between a quarter and twenty-five cents?
Anything that can go wrong
Will find itself come and gone
