Make You Better

I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bent backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh, to make me better

I loved you in springtime
I lost you when summer came
And when you pulled backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh, to make me better

But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour
You were in your letters
And won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you matter
But it would make you better
It'd make you better

I sung you your twinges
I suffered you your tattletales
And when you broke sideways
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh, to make me better

But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour
You were in your letters
And won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you matter
But it would make you better
It'd make you better

And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine
All I wanted was a shimmer in your shine
To make me blind

'Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour
You were in your letters
And won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you matter
'Cause it'd make you better
It'd make you better
