lyrics

CHORUS
Well the better life gets, the worse it is
I got a hole in my heart, the size of my fist
And all the things that I love, right in my home
But I wouldn’t know cause I’m all alone
Would you believe this is how good I live
I got so many things, but nothing to give
I don’t know how I get any place
I can’t see the sun with a phone in my face

All I do is count the hours till the day is through
But time’s still disappearing faster than I want it to
Craving something that only a hopeful heart can bring
Craving something I don’t have when I’ve got everything

CHORUS

I don’t know why I say the things I do now, no
I don’t know why I can’t stop thinking about it, baby
Don’t listen to me, I don’t know the way
I wish I could run, but there’s no escpae
So look in my eyes, tell me what’s real
Give me some life, teach me to feel

CHORUS

Well the better life gets, the worse it is
I got a hole in my heart, the size of my fist
And all the things that I love, right in my home
But I wouldn’t know cause I’m all alone

Well the better life gets, the worse it is (x4)
