Somebody Better

I need somebody better

Better than me

And I keep chasing down forever

Without making it real

I keep working on the future

When it's lost its appeal

Cause' I wanna be your lover

Not your life support machine

There's a better suitor

On the cards I've been dealt

And I've been playing house

With shadows who make dust on the shelf

I've been smiling for the picture

While the camera is smashed

And a paper chain noose

Has been pulling me back

I don't wanna waste time

On conventional life

That's been tying me down

Taking a shot in the dark

Gotta pull it apart

So I come back around

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I keep chasing down forever

Without making it real

I keep working on the future

When it's lost its appeal

Cause' I wanna be your lover

Not your life support machine

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I need somebody better

Better better better

Coloured it so pretty

I could ignore the lines

Feeling spent with no tomorrow

Always doing it right

I've been swimming round in ink

For so long I went blind

All the paper chains broke

Cause' the edges were fried

I kept all of my cards

Too close to my chest

Now they're laid on the ground

Taking a shot in the dark

Gonna pull them apart

So I come back around

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I keep chasing down forever

Without making it real

I keep working on the future

When it's lost its appeal

Cause' I wanna be your lover

Not your life support machine

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I need somebody better

Better than me

And I need somebody better

Better better better

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah
