Pushing the shame off my back Telling the soul walk tall and don't lose track Tipping it out of 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 Where do I begin? Ooh The better me is you I don't mind Ooh The better me is you And I know why 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 wide What you mean to me I only whisper, whisper to the trees You make space out of my side You can only try, you can only try Ooh The better me is you I don't mind Ooh The better me is you And I know why There's nothing behind us That says I didn't try Whoa-oh-oh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh I have to live I have to live I have to live with me
