If I Was Someone Better

You found the light where I hid the weather

Made my broken pieces fit together

You call my name like I'm worth forever

But I keep thinking...

You're the kind that still believes

Hearts can heal and souls can breathe

While I'm a storm behind a smile

Running from myself for miles

You hold my hand without a doubt

Even when the dark leaks out

You say my scars don't change your view

But I don't think I'm good for you

If I was someone better

Someone brave instead of scared

I'd tell the truth without the weight

Of every nightmare that I wear

If I was someone better

I'd never let your blue skies fade

If I was someone better

I'd never make your sunshine break

If I was someone better

I'd give you every dream instead

But all I have are restless nights

And battles in my head

You speak of forever like it's real

Like every wound can someday heal

You wear my flaws like they're just rain

While I still drown inside the pain

You see an angel in my eyes

I see a thousand goodbyes

You're everything I'm praying for

I'm everything you should ignore

If I was someone better

I'd be the man you already see

I'd build a home instead of walls

You'd never have to rescue me

But until that day finally comes

I'll wear this heart like heavy chains

Loving you means letting go

Before I pass you all my pain

If I was someone better

I'd be the reason that you smile

If I was someone better

I'd make forever worth your while

If I was someone better

I'd never have to set you free

But if you deserve the whole wide world...

Then you deserve much more than me.

If I was someone better...

I'd still choose you.

I just wish I believed

You chose me.
