[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 exist
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
