[Verse 1]
I know I had an attitude
I was trying to be better for you
It kept my head above the water
From drowning in a river of blues
I am burning out on empathy
I am finding it hard to believe
That everything I got to do
I am always running back to you

[Chorus]
And I could be better, I could be stronger, but only for you
Sooner or later I will be someone, but only for you
And she slowly does it, throws everything away
Put out the fire, go easy on my pain

[Verse 2]
I know I promised better things
I never thought you would leave
I understand that time is on our side
And I hope you can breathe

[Chorus]
And I could be better, I could be stronger, but only for you
Sooner or later I will be someone, but only for you
And she slowly does it, throws everything away
Put out the fire, go easy on my pain
[Bridge]
I am hopelessly lonely
I have been burning out for days
I am slowly learning
I have loved you in every way

I could be stronger

[Chorus]
I could be better, I could be stronger, but only for you
Sooner or later I will be someone, but only for you
She slowly does it, throws everything away
And put out the fire, and go easy on my pain

[Outro]
I could be better, I could be stronger, but only for you
