Better Version of You

I hope you know you're beautiful

That's why I tell you all the time It's not 'cause I want you to fall

For some foolish love like mine

Don't let me put my arms around you I'll only drag you down

My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town

Don't let me pin my hopes upon you

Don't let me drag you around the way I do

Go and be a better version of you

You don't want the same life all the time

You'd like to be reborn each morn

And if you need to breathe, It's not a crime

I'll still be here to reach for, in these storms

But don't let me put my arms around you I'll only drag you down

My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town

Don't let me lay my burdens on you

And there was no better way than what I felt yesterday

But there is no part of you I wouldn't try to unscrew, if you let me

Just to see inside of you

And when the sunrise found us I thought I saw another life

Some other version of you

One where you became my inspiration, drive, compassion, sense of humor, self, and fashion

See how quickly these things happen

Don't let it happen to me, don't let it happen to you

Don't let me put my arms around you I'll only drag you down

My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town

Don't let me pin my hopes upon you

Don't let me drag you around the way I do

Go and be a better version of

Go and be a brighter light to shine through

Go and be a better version of you, of you, of you
