I Want Us More Than I Want to Be Right

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

You tuck the truth inside your coat

Smooth the edges so I never see

I catch you editing your tone

Spinning half a story back to me

Pre-Chorus

But the silence isn't softer

It just pushes us apart

I'd rather hold the hard parts

Than a pretty broken heart

Chorus

I want us more than I want to be right

So drop the wall and let the dark in with the light

Don't protect me with a lie

I'd rather know you fully

Post-Chorus

Know you

Fully

Know you

Fully

Verse 2

You think you're saving me the ache

Keeping storm clouds off my day

But every shelter you create

Is a door you close my way

Pre-Chorus

And the guessing gets me colder

Than the coldest thing you'd say

I'd rather stand in rain with you

Than dry and drift away

Chorus

I want us more than I want to be right

So drop the wall and let the dark in with the light

Don't protect me with a lie

I'd rather know you fully

Post-Chorus

Know you

Fully

Know you

Fully

Bridge

Maybe I'm the wreck you're scared of

Maybe you're afraid I'd leave

But even broken truth is truer

Than the kind that's meant to please

Chorus

I want us more than I want to be right

So drop the wall and let the dark in with the light

Don't protect me with a lie

I'd rather know you fully

Post-Chorus

Know you

Fully

Know you

Fully

Mm-hmm
