Better Lyrics by Matthew Ebel

Cognitive Dissonance

0

Baby if I told you I was loaded
Would you love me any better?
Maybe if my bank account was bloated
It would mean you'd love me better
You tell me that I'm worth it
But I know I can't compare
So I fake my sunny stare
No one knows how much I'm scared
I could listen to some music that I hated
If you think it sounds better
I suppose that I could be manipulated
If you wanna make me better
Well I can't shake this fear
That I'm not good enough I guess
If I said i was a mess
Would you love me any less?
CHORUS:
'Cause I can't make you love me any more
Every day's just like the one before
And I'm so tired of waking up
And wondering if you'll be there
When I do
Maybe if I cleaned up all your messes
Then you'd love me so much better
If I shave my legs and wore some shorter dresses
Wouldn't I look so much better?
I know you say you want me
But I don't think I'm cut out
I keep hanging on these doubts
And my grip is giving out
Tell if I got fake tits
Do you think I'd look better?
If I said that if you leave
I'll slit my wrists
Would it make you love me better?
I get so much attention
But it's never quite enough
And I just can't keep this up
No I just can't keep this up
BRIDGE:
Turn my head off for a moment
Take a breath and close my eyes
You can see right through my smile
This well-rehearsed disguise
You've been holding me together
On this untamed rocket ride
Keeping me from burning out
When I've been burning up inside
You couldn't love me better if you tried
You couldn't love me better if you tried
CHORUS:
And I couldn't make you love me any more
Every day's just like the years before
And I won't have to wake up wondering
If you're gonna be there when I do
(Repeat)
