Better Than This

Lyrics of Better Than This by Lizzy McAlpine

One, two, three
There′s someone at my door
I can hear him knocking
If I let him inside
It will all be true

I didn’t know that I
Was capable of all of this
Look what I′ve turned into

What if I’m not a good person?
You always say that I am
You don’t really know me at all now
I think that I′m not who you think I am

But I like to be seen
And I like to be wanted
Want it to mean something though
And we never quite knew how to be honest
Honest to God, I should go
Someone will love me
Better than this
Better than this

Someone will love you
Better than this
Better than this

What if I′m not a good person?
You always say that I am
But you don’t really know me at all now
I have you right in the palm of my hand

′Cause I like to be seen
And I like to be wanted
Always could count on you there
It’s probably wrong that I never was honest
Honest to God, I was scared

That

Someone will love me
Better than this
Someone will love you
Better
