[Verse 1]

If you were a teacher, I would fail your class

Take it over and over 'til you notice me

If you were a waiting room, I would never see a doctor

I would sit there with my first aid kit and bleed

I wanna be the power ballad that lifts you up and holds you down

I wanna be the broken love song that feeds your misery

And I can wish all that I want, but it won't bring us together

Plus I know whatever happens to me, I know it's for the better

[Verse 2]

And when broken bodies are washed ashore

Who am I to ask for more, more, more?

But you're breathing in my open mouth

You're the gun in my lips that will blow my brains out

I wanna make you drive all night just because I said, "Maybe you should come over"

Wanna make you fall in love as hard as my poor parents' teenage daughter

She'll be the best you ever had if you let her

[Outro]

I know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better

Know it's for the better
