Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe it's the fact that I can't go back now
Maybe it's the rivers, they're much calmer now
[Verse 2]
I can hear the storm knocking at my door
And I just wanna answer
I think I know its name 'cause I'm the one to blame
Always chasing a disaster
[Verse 3]
Now I have to leave, just so I can breathe
Please don't tell me that you miss me
It's too late to change, I just need a little rain
I'm just looking for a better me
[Chorus]
Ooh
I can't be those things next to you
Ooh
I can't be those things next to you
[Bridge]
I thought we'd be forever, but I'm changing like the weather
Up, down, got scared so I went and cut my hair
As our words, they lose their meaning, I just need to feel that feeling
And it's too late to change, I'm already on a plane
I want it faster, chasing a disaster
Just so I can pick up all the pieces, put them back without a reason
When I'm there, even if I'm scared
Please don't tell me that you miss me
[PreChorus]
I wanna be better, I wanna be new
But I can't be those things next to you
[Chorus]
Ooh
I can't be those things next to you
Ooh
I can't be those things next to you
Ooh
I can't be those things next to you
[Outro]
Wanna be better, I wanna be new
But I can't be those things next to you
