Lyrics: 

Better

Oh the first time was so easy
You know it was just like breathing
But I’ve been holding my breath too long
This time, I’m kicking and screaming, yeah
And sometimes I feel you looking down
You know I’m just trying to work it out
But these things take a little time
And I wish you didn’t have those doubts

Now you say these things make you what you are
I know you’re right, but why is it so hard
And now I wish that you and I could see
That we are just the same

I thought this hurt was over
But we had a ways to go
You would’ve thought I’d know better
You say we should forget this, but I say no
‘cause if we did, how would we know it’s better

And when the world brings me down, again
And I stumble for the lessons
Don’t let the words come between us now
I know we all live with our reflections

Now you say these things make you what you are
I know you’re right, but why is it so hard
Don’t want to be afraid to let you in,
But it matters what you think, no matter what I say

Chorus

To Me

Tonight I wrote you a letter, and as soon as I let it
go I thought, oh no
What would you think, or worse, what would you say tome
I have only known you a short while, but sometimes
that’s all it takes
And even when you think you know, it doesn’t make you any less afraid

But you were sweet
You opened your arms
You didn’t laugh or chide, you brought me no harm
And I knew the first time I saw you
You would be a good friend, to me

I saw Gabriel tonight. he walked right in and put his
hands on my shoulders
And he said “man, why don’t you stay?”
I said “you know I think I’m just gonna walk my sorry ass home”
‘cause what am I missing anyway, yeah what am I
missing?

Chorus

So why do we fight like this
When will we realize that this is all there is, this
is everything to me
And when you see me on the ground, I know you’d stop and turn around
To calm me down, calm me down, calm me down

I haven’t seen you in years, you know you haven’t
changed a bit
You were the one who always made me smile, no matter what I did
And now you’re up on that stage, but do you know how you make me feel?
How could you know, how could you see
When you’re so far away from me

Chorus

This Love

Can’t you see, I can’t look away, when you walk in the room
And the only thing I need to make me smile, is just to
watch you move
I’m probably not what you’re looking for, and I’m
probably not what you need
But there’s one thing I can say I have; I’ll keep it
here for you, keep it safe in side of me

Why don’t you need this love
Tell me why don’t you need this love
Oh, it ain’t so hard to find: I’ll be sitting at the
bar if you change your mind
Why don’t you need this love

And everyone here knows your name
And everyone wants to be where you are
So while they all vie for your attention
I’ll just right here and gaze on at your star

Why don’t you need this love
Tell me why don’t you need this love
And now you’ve left me such a mess cause I love every little flower there on your dress
Why don’t you need this love

You can tie me up with your smile
And when you sing, when you sing you sing to me

And I know I don’t fit the description of the one who turns you on
And I’d never think to take the place of the one who’s so long gone
So if you can do one thing for me before you leave here for another night
Just look this way, so I can see your eyes, I want to
make sure I have the color right

Why don’t you need this love
Tell me why don’t you need this love
So now I’ll leave my heart on the shelf but if you’re
so inclined you can just help yourself
Why don’t you need this love
And you know I think you’re such a find but I guess
I’ll never hear you say you’re mine
Why don’t you need this love
But if you let me take you out some night you know
unless you say so, I won’t bite
Why don’t you need this love

The Evidence of You

Years from now, what would we think, as we go through the motions of our day
You’d say you did what you had to do, yeah you thought it through
I guess you know what’s right for you
Just yesterday you brought the world down on me, you said you’d found somebody new
Well I guess that’s just the way of this world
Just another end to another story
And so I tried to keep my face up
And I tried to be your friend

But the evidence of you is all around me now
I guess I’ll leave that chair just where it is
And I won’t take down these pictures even though I
know I should
Can’t you tell me what these things mean if they don’t mean you

So I guess I need a little more help now, can you just
show me how to move
One of these days you can show me how to smile again
For now, why don’t you show me how to let you go
They say things happen for a reason
And they tell you to walk away with what you learn

But the evidence of you is all around me now
There’s so much that I can barely move
And I won’t throw out these ashes even though I know I should 
Can’t you tell me what these things mean if they don’t mean you, if they don’t mean you

So I stumble through the door at the end of the day
And I wonder where you’ll lay your head tonight
And you know I can’t sleep in this bed no more
Thoughts come but never change; leave me lying on the bedroom floor
And I miss the way you touch me, and I miss the taste of your skin
I didn’t know I could ache like this
But I guess that’s for someone new…
Well I hope he takes good care of you

And the evidence of you is all around me now
There’s so much that I can barely move
And you don’t take down these pictures, even though
you know you should
Can’t you tell me what these things mean, if they
don’t mean you, if they don’t mean you
