Better Half

Well it seems like I can't do a thing right
Always have to think twice before I say a word
And it feels like walking on a landmine
Where I'm always the bad guy
But that's what you prefer

And I've cried more tears than I ever have
For my so-called better half
Will it all get better 'cause
I know this can't ever last

When it's one step forward and two steps backward
To the same old story and same old pattern
Where you shut me out and play the victim
Tear me down and make me listen

One step forward and two steps backward
Every time I'm trying to just move past it
You make it out like I'm the villain
So why am I still trying to fix it

Well it's been like tip toeing on thin ice
So sick of all the bad nights but so scared to be alone
And I know that every time I go back
And every time I hope that
You've changed, you'll prove me wrong

And I've cried
More tears than I ever have
For my so-called better half
Will it all get better 'cause
I know this can't ever last

When it's one step forward and two steps backward
To the same old story and same old pattern
Where you shut me out and play the victim
Tear me down and make me listen

One step forward and two steps backward
Every time I'm trying to just move past it
You make it out like I'm the villain
So why am I still trying to fix it
