Build a Better World

I've been on my way down
I've been livin' with the lights out
Get in trouble by the idle sounds
Of the day-to day i know I let you down
I did nothing to protect you
Didn't know how much you went through
And now it's too late

I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you

I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause
I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that

I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you

Because you are the only feeling that I know
And lovers are left to fight
It now you've gone
I followed your fire 'cause I
Need you to know
I'd build a better world for you

(Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do)
(Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do)
(Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do)

Weights heavy on me now
Thinking 'bout all that you went through
Doing anything to numb your way
To an empty space staring at the ceiling
Trying to figure out a meaning
Trying to buy into the feeling
Of a better place

I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you

I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause
I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling
Sitting in your cold water
I wish I was fighting for ya
Keeping you close in that

I wish I did more to love you
I wish I did more to keep you safe
And if I only could
I'd build a better world for you for you
For you
