[Hook]

I should be

I should be

I should be better

You and me

You and me

We could be better

You don't mean

You don't mean

What you said

Head to bed

Super late

Good night, anyways

I should be

I should be

I should be better

You and me

You and me

We could be better

You don't mean

You don't mean

What you said

Head to bed

Super late

Good night, anyways


[Verse 1: Adonis Falls]

When did it stop being about the LORD

I don't know for sure

I testify every time I writе the lines

That tore mе more

Every morning I stapled my eyelids awake

Writing high

Feeling effervescent

I'm reminiscent of the times

I know

It wasn't for me to go set stages ablaze

Passing my self off as Yahweh

Man, that left me astray

Always searching deeper

Always looking for pain

My only love came from a bottle

And some more from heartbreak

Always giving my heart away

To another pretty face

Just to be left with my shame

I packed my bags and left her

Before she wakes

Leaving smoke rings in the dark

And tears up, up on her face

But I guess that's what happens

When Grace leaves that place

And I can never change

(Never change)

Lord

I never ceased to realize your goodness in my life

Written to ripped up pages

Let me take you back to a different time

Watching time passed me by

Wasting lines

All of mine

Never really realized

The goodness that you do


[Hook]

I should be

I should be

I should be better

You and me

You and me

We could be better

You don't mean

You don't mean

What you said

Head to bed

Super late

Good night, anyways

I should be

I should be

I should be better

You and me

You and me

We could be better

You don't mean

You don't mean

What you said

Head to bed

Super late

Good night, anyways


[Verse 2: Adonis Falls]

Ay girl

Don't worry 'bout the consequences

Is what they say

The only time I tell you the truth

Is when I'm spitting in this studio booth

Darling

It's got me asking

What's more likely for us

Are we falling down in love

Or loveless passion

Girl

What's happening

Complications got me searching for your heart

And I'm passing em

Convos got cut short back in them days

We was lasting in

Packed our bags for Virginia first flight

Tend to look back even though we know right

Ripping pages outta book

And we still write even we try to outlast the pen

In the floodlights

Late night typed out messages

That left me second guessing

And left me in the dark

With my heart and it's pressing

My depression is on fire with all my lies

And life lessons

All my notions of leaving you tears me apart

And it's testing my faith

Testing my truth

Knowing pain and anguish is all I do

Knowing I hurt you girl

Is something I wished I'd never done

Things I never said

Or maybe all the times I should've run

There's no what if's in life

So I know I have to live with what I've done


[Hook]

I should be

I should be

I should be better

You and me

You and me

We could be

You don't mean

You don't mean

What you said

Head to bed

Super late

Good night, anyways

I should be

I should be

I should be better

You and me

You and me

We could be better

Be better

Be better

Be better


[Outro]

Be better

I should be, I should be, I should

Be better

You and me

You and me we could

Be better

You don't mean, you don't mean what you said

Be better

Head to bed super late

Good
