Better Than This

[Intro] Mm Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Verse 1] I stared at the ceiling tiles

counting cracks instead of weeks

my hands won't stop their shaking

this quiet is a crowd

I made a list of reasons

then I folded it in half

[Pre-Chorus] Something small was asking

Something small was asking for a name

[Chorus] I can only hope

That your soul

will find a place

that you could call home

because it's not my womb

it's not my home

it's not this place

you deserve better than

[Post-Chorus] better

so much better

better, yeah, better than this

better

so much better

better, yeah, better than this

[Verse 2] My mother says she'll pray

my best friend says nothing at all

the hallway smells like antiseptic

I practiced what I'd say

then I said a different thing

small mercies small mercies

[Pre-Chorus] Something small was asking

Something small was asking for a name

[Chorus] I can only hope

That your soul

will find a place

that you could call home

because it's not my womb

it's not my home

it's not this place

you deserve better than

[Post-Chorus] better

so much better

better, yeah, better than this

better

so much better

better, yeah, better than this

[Bridge] I am not a villain

I am not a saint

I am just a person

who couldn't carry weight

so I let you go

I let you go

I let you go

[Glitch Breakdown] I can only hope

ho-ho-hope

I can only hope

ho-ho-hope

I can, woah oh

[Final Chorus] I can only hope

That your soul

will find a place

that you could call home

because it's not my womb

it's not my home

it's not this place

you deserve better than

[Post-Chorus] better

so much better

better, yeah, better than this

better

so much better

better, yeah, better than this
