What am I supposed to do when you free fall?
Hold out my arms, or sit back and watch?
What am I supposed to do?
And what am I supposed to say when you cut deep?
Thicken my skin to tell you I bleed?
What am I supposed to say?
Oh-oh, it's nothing new, nothing new about it
You're the one who always says that I'm so agile
Oh-oh, it's nothing new, nothing new about it
Can't help thinking maybe you're the one who's fragile
So you can put the "heavy" and the "hurt" on me
Say that I could touch you differently, and
Tell me I don't give you what you need
But, baby, don't you ever say I could love you better
If you want, I could tailor my words to you
Make 'em sound sweet and make you feel brand new, but
If I did, it wouldn't change the truth
So, baby, don't you ever say I could love you better than I do
How am I supposed to pray for my best life
If it wasn't you all of this time?
How am I supposed to breathe?
Where am I supposed to turn when you're not here?
The harder I love, the farther you run
And I'm tired of chasin' you
'Cause I know I'm worth chasin' too
So you can put the "heavy" and the "hurt" on me
Say that I could touch you differently, and
Tell me I don't give you what you need
But, baby, don't you ever say I could love you better
If you want, I could tailor my words to you
Make 'em sound sweet and make you feel brand new, but
If I did, it wouldn't change the truth
So, baby, don't you ever say I could love you better than I do
'Cause I can love you better than I do
Oh-oh, it's nothing new, nothing new about it
You're the one who always says that I'm so agile
Oh-oh, it's nothing new, nothing new about it
Can't help thinking maybe you're the one who's fragile
So you can put the "heavy" and the "hurt" on me
Say that I could touch you differently, and
Tell me I don't give you what you need
But, baby, don't you ever say I could love you better
If you want, I could tailor my words to you
Make 'em sound sweet and make you feel brand new, but
If I did, it wouldn't change the truth
So, baby, don't you ever say I could love you better than I do
Ooh, I can love you better than I do
