[Verse 1] Tell me none of your longings I don't need them or you And leave me none of your wisdom I don't need your lies or your truths [Chorus] I've been better when the sky was red And a face like yours couldn't make me scared I've been better with the things I said When I took the lead instead of being led [Verse 2] Feed me none of your lines I won't fall for them 'cause I'll lose And hold me to none of my words I don't mean them when I'm with you And the cars streak past with life inside Why is my life in your eyes? And the windows glow with the hearts they've known Why is my heart never mine? [Chorus] I've been better when the sky was red And a face like yours couldn't make me scared I've been better, with the things I said When I took the lead instead of being led I've been better when the sky was red And a face like yours couldn't make me scared I've been better, with the things I said When I took the lead instead of being led I've been better when the sky was red And a face like yours couldn't make me scared I've been better, with the things I said When I took the lead instead of being led I've been better when the sky was red And a face like yours couldn't make me scared I've been better, with the things I said When I took the lead instead of being led [Outro] I've been better, been better oh Been better, I've been better oh
