Lyrics
[Verse 1] I took your words
because mine were wrong.
I took your calm
because mine was gone.
I took your way
of holding it in,
and I wore it
like it was my skin.
[Pre-Chorus] If I smile, I get to leave.
If I smile, they will believe.
So I smile the way they taught
and they write down what they want.
[Chorus] Everything is better,
everything is fine,
everything you gave me,
and none of it is mine.
I don't hurt anymore,
and I miss him all the time.
I'd take him back.
I'd take him back.
[Verse 2] Now when I think,
I can hear you speak.
When I hold on,
it's your technique.
I say I'm fine
in the way you would,
and I can't tell
if that means it's good.
[Pre-Chorus] If I smile, I get to leave.
If I smile, they will believe.
So I smile the way they taught
and they write down what they want.
[Chorus] Everything is better,
everything is fine,
everything you gave me,
and none of it is mine.
I don't hurt anymore,
and I miss him all the time.
I'd take him back.
I'd take him back.
[Bridge] Take one part out, put a better one in.
Do it a hundred times.
They say it's still the same.
They say it's still me.
I'd believe it
but there's no one left in here to ask.
[Final Chorus] Everything is better,
everything is fine,
everything you gave me,
and none of it is mine.
I don't hurt anymore,
and I miss him all the time.
I'd take him back.
I'd take him back.
