Jordy Searcy - Better

I know you know the power in your texts
Perfectly timed to one am
Suddenly there's tension in my chest
Feels like I'm running
When I'm standing still
You're controlling every part of me with six words
The crazy part is that I tell myself it don't hurt
But the truth is

I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
I can't feel it when you touch me
We're not fooling anybody
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
But we deserve better
Better

You cut me down so we never see eye to eye
It's hard to argue when you're never the same size
You found the lies I built around me
Made up some brand new ones about me
Baby I love the way you're looking in this good, good, good light

I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
This is not even about you
I lost me before I found you
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
But we deserve better

Sometimes I see a piece
Of what this could be
I'm terrified to let you go
But if you give me half your heart
I'll never have your heart
Two half hearts don't make a whole

I just want someone to love me
Come on, somebody just love me

I love you 'cause I don't love me
I love you 'cause I don't love me
So I don't love you I don't love me
I don't think I deserve
This is not even about you
I'm alone with or without you
I love you 'cause I don't love me
I don't think I deserve better
