Lyrics Give You Better - The Correspondents

In the public eye he's sweetness and light
But it's a different story in the cover of night
There's a dark side that he can't help but let rip
And you, my dear, who takes the full brunt of it

How many times have you followed him home while he shouts at his phone?
Do you believe his boss keeps him in late?
How many more lies can you take?
Is a count of six rows in a seven day week a tally that you're keen to keep?
He may not hit you but he's broken your things:
You fix them as another storm spins

I will give you better, I will give you better
I will give you better
Oh, you better believe
I will write a letter, I will write a letter
I will write a letter giving reasons to leave

I will give you better, I will give you better
I will give you better
Oh, you better believe
I will write a letter, I will write a letter
I will write a letter giving reasons to leave

The truth is that you like the white
Water rapids of a man who is out of control
I can't give you this but if I was yours I'd assume the opposite role
You like the white water rapids of a man who is out of control
You know the beast wouldn't even care if his prey bolt the hole

You don't need him like I need you
You could leave him
Oh why won't you?
I know, I know
Your type's a man who likes a fight

I will give you better, I will give you better
I will give you better
Oh, you better believe
I will write a letter, I will write a letter
I will write a letter giving reasons to leave

I will give you better, I will give you better
I will give you better
Oh, you better believe
I will write a letter, I will write a letter
I will write a letter giving reasons to leave

From over here it's crystal clear
This shatters every principle that you hold dear
But you, who sees herself as strong
Is going to disappear before too long
Please, please, please read what I've sent
It clearly lays out my intent:
To give you space to be you again
I haven't seen you smile since you've been with him

I will give you better, I will give you better
I will give you better
Oh you better believe
I will write a letter, I will write a letter
I will write a letter giving reasons to leave

I will give you better, I will give you better
I will give you better
Oh, you better believe
I will write a letter, I will write a letter
I will write a letter giving reasons to leave
