Do Better Lyrics by New Manners

Give Me Your Bones EP

2015

[Verse 1]
You've been breaking all the rules
The ones you made in school
But now you say those days are over

[Refrain]
Now, your feet are on the ground
You're turning them around
Just hoping that time goes faster

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're gone
You're gone

[Chorus]
Well, you tell yourself that you can do better
You can do better, you can do better
But you won't
You tell yourself that you can do better
You can do better, you can do better
But you won't
But you won't

[Verse 2]
You've been living in the dark
Your tattered little heart
Yeah, we were friends but now that's over

[Refrain]
Now, your feet are on the ground
You're turning them around
Just hoping that time goes faster

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're gone
You're gone

[Chorus]
Well, you tell yourself that you can do better
You can do better, you can do better
But you won't
You tell yourself that you can do better
You can do better, you can do better
But you won't
But you won't

[Bridge]
So we can't get along
So we play, play along
Now you're gone
You're gone
So we can't get along
So we play, play along
Now you're gone
Yeah, you're gone

[Chorus]
You tell yourself that you can do better
You can do better, you can do better
But you won't
You tell yourself that you can do better
You can do better, you can do better
But you won't
But you won't
