lyrics
if you’ve always had this place in my life 
where u been? 
if u’ve always known itd be like this 
then why pretend 
i know you better than you think 
i know this dance across the water 
i stood there n watched wreckage sink 
i see her walking past the altar 

until night brings a haunting voice inside my mind 
collapse in just to pull apart & redefine 

in the sorrow lies the acceptance we require 
if there’s always time to speak up then why do we hide 
you know it better than you think 
you know that hill across the harbor 
i stood there n watched the wreckage sink 
i saw her breathing under water 

& you once said keep all pulling your weight alone 
you cant break - when you helped me up just to push me down 
you helped me up just to push me down

better than u think

1998

I’m not the best at singing, but I hope I’m at least decent and that the songs/covers I post are of some pleasantry.

write & record.
