[Verse 1]
When I couldn't see you for the wall
What was that you said?
What was that you said before you called?
And when I couldn't catch you for the fall
What was that you said?
What was that you said?
"Nothing hurts this much"

[Pre-Chorus]
But I've seen the way
That bodies lie and bodies tend to break
And I've been away
I've been away too long, too long to be afraid

[Chorus]
But you know
What you know is better, is brighter
And you know, you know
What you know is better, is brighter

[Verse 2]
And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park
You said to me:
"This is not you
This is not you
This is not you!
This is not you"
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've seen the way
That bodies lie and bodies tend to break
And I've been away
I've been away too long and I don't know a better place

[Chorus]
But you know
What you know is better, is brighter
And you know, you know
What you know is better, is brighter

[Verse 3]
And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park
And this is where we are
In your bed, in my arms
Outside of me
In spite of 'we'
I showed you the dark
And you said to me

[Chorus]
"You know
What you know is better, is brighter"
"And you know, you know
What you know is better, is brighter"
