When I couldn't see you for the wall
What was that you said?
What was that you said before you called?
And when I couldn't catch you for the fall
What was that you said?
What was that you said?
"Nothing hurts this much"

But I've seen the way
That bodies lie
And bodies tend to break
And I've been away
I've been away too long
Too long to be afraid

[Chorus]
But you know
What you know is better, is brighter
And you know, you know
What you know is better, is brighter

[Post-Chorus]
And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park

You said to me
"This is not you
This is not you
This is not you!
This is not you"

But I've seen the way
That bodies lie
And bodies tend to break
And I've been away
I've been away too long
And I don't know a better place


[Chorus]
But you know
What you know is better, is brighter
And you know, you know
What you know is better, is brighter

[Post-Chorus]
And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park

And this is where we are
In your bed, in my arms
Outside of me, In spite of 'we'
I showed you the dark

And you said to me, "You know
What you know is better, is brighter"
"And you know, you know
What you know is better, is brighter"
