The Joy Formidable – The Better Me lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pushing the shame of my back
Telling the soul walk tall and don't lose track
Kickin' it out on my shoes
It's weighing me down, it's weighing me down
Leaving the side of my house
Looking to find a friend, then leave again
Cutting the wires within, so I'll follow you now
How do I begin?

[Chorus]
Oooh
The better me is you
I don't mind
Oooh
The better me is you
And I know why

[Verse 2]
Quick, they're locking the gates
We were going nowhere anyway
I'm stepping with the sky
But I can't get close
I just circle, why?
What you mean to me
I only whisper
Whisper to the trees
You made space out of my side
You can only try, you can only try

[Chorus]
Oooh
The better me is you
I don't mind
Oooh
The better me is you
And I know why

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
There's nothing behind us
That says I didn't try
Whoa-oah-oah

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

[Bridge 2]
Why I have to live
Why I have to live
I have to live with you
I know why
