If you were a teacher, I would fail your class Take it over and over till 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 Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you 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 Lights will guide you home And I will try to fix you 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 Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Know it's for the better (tears stream) Know it's for the better (down your face) Know it's for the better (when you lose something) Know it's for the better (you cannot replace) Know it's for the better (tears stream) Know it's for the better (down your face) Know it's for the better (I promise you I will) Know it's for the better (learn from my mistakes) Know it's for the better Know it's for the better Know it's for the better Know it's for the better
