[Verse 1]

When I look you in the lie

Something deep inside me dies

’cause I know you won’t get better, better, better

You’d rather be right than be loved

The only thing I understood

Nothing’s ever good enough

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I stumble through the words as they’re leaving me

Tremble at the side of Your Majesty

And I cut myself just to get them out

[Chorus]

This time I’ll be different, I promise you

This time I’ll be special, you know I will

Just don’t leave with me in your eyes

This time I’ll be better, I want you to know

This time I’ll be special, oh God, make it so

Just don’t leave with me

In your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

[Verse 2]

You took my youth, you took my health

And if you’re not here I find myself

You’re supposed to make this better, better, better

No self-control and no reason why

If I don’t change, then we both die

This is it for you and I

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Blisters at the end of my fingertips

Praying to a god I don’t think exists

Will you listen now?

Can you forgive me somehow?

[Chorus]

This time I’ll be different, I promise you

This time I’ll be special, you know I will

Just don’t leave with me in your eyes

This time I’ll be better, I want you to know

This time I’ll be special, oh God, make it so

Just don’t leave with me

In your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

[Bridge]

Closer now to the end

If love was the answer

Then hope was the question

Closer now, let’s pretend

We’ve never been out here before

[Chorus]

This time I’ll be different, I promise you

This time I’ll be special, you know I will

Just don’t leave with me in your eyes

This time I’ll be better, I want you to know

This time I’ll be special, oh God, make it so

Just don’t leave with me

In your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
