Better Shot Of You (v. 1)


I'll be watching over there
I'm not too sure how to approach this
You were always running scared
But never running fast enough
I can't seem to make much sense
Of the stupid things you'd always say
An obsession, my obsession
You're the one who got away

Take a look at what we've got
Now I'm stunted on the spot
In my mind's eye, misconstrued
There's a better shot of you

I'll be hiding in my head
I'm not that sure how to deny it
From these lies that still contend
To shoulder when the daylight comes
No one seems to get the point
With the stupid thoughts we can't relate
A confession, my confession
You're the one who wouldn't change

Take a look at what we've got
Now I'm stunted on the spot
In my mind's eye, misconstrued
There's a better shot of you

I can see it all so clearly
Every moment that you cared
Giving way to paranoia
We were always unprepared

Never facing this decision
Though it fell apart in time
Letting go of what I lived for
Each defection unrefined
