Hands Like Houses and Aaron Gillespie - Better Before

I was better before I met you
Before I met you

I'm always coming down (down), living at the bottom
This pain don't feel the same (same), drowning in the sorrow
The magic you erased, left me so hollow
The smile upon your faces haunt me

Lying again, playing the game
Finding a way to barely escape
Look at your smile, circle the drain
A beautiful cycle

On and off again, bathing in the sin
I can never seem to win (but you love to watch me try)

It felt good to know (to know)
I let you in my soul
I gave you all control (control)
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you
Before I met you

It felt so good to hate
And see just what you did
Would you chase me down the drain
Or live in your madness

There's no chance that I'll get worse
There's no chance that I won't hurt

Lying again, playing the game
Finding a way to barely escape
Look at your smile, circle the drain
A beautiful cycle

It felt good to know (good to know)
I let you in my soul (my soul)
I gave you all control
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you

Is it better now?
Do you think you got enough?
Ever wonder why?
I never gave it up
It's so funny how
You ruined me with love
Ain't it funny that
You'll never get enough
You'll never get enough
(Why won't you?)
You'll never take enough

It felt good to know
I let you in my soul

I gave you all control (I gave you all control)
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you
(It felt good to know)
Before I met you
(I let you in my soul)
But I was better before I met you

Better before I met you
Better before I met you
