Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It opened up Pandora's box
And it all came rushing out like water
Trapped inside a pressurised vat
I lay crooked on the stairs
Picking fights with my reflection
Trying to pry out some answers from that idiot
[Verse 2]
I spent many days taking walks around the haunts
That you and I spent all our adolescent life
You hurt my heart and subsequently I hurt others
And I'm no further than I was before
[Verse 3]
God! You really got the better of me
God! You really got the better of me
[Verse 4]
And I hated you, I was so jealous of your standing
And I envied your happy family
Oh, I looked like shit, stuck in all my vice rotations
Trying to find light in every broken soul
[Verse 5]
I convinced myself that you were just another chemical
That needed to be sweated out
Until I saw you on the beach, birthing smiles
In every passerby that caught your beautiful eye
[Verse 6]
God! You really got the better of me
God! You really got the better of me
God! You really got the better of me
God! You really got the better of me
God! You really got the better of me
