Better Than Me

You’ve got a broken heart.
It was over before it started.
Now you spend all of your time just crying.

I know the way you feel.
They’ll say that it’s not real,
But it’s real enough to make you feel like dying.

What are you supposed to do when all the world is falling down?
You have got no place you can go when it all comes crashing to the ground.

I am not the answer.
I am not your savior.
I can barely even stay alive.
I’m not a hero.
I’m just a zero.
Why can’t you see, you can do better than me?

This life is so unfair,
I know ’cause I’ve been there.
I am living in this hell everyday.

And if I make you feel,
The way she makes me feel,
Then I am sorry ’cause I wouldn’t wish this kind of pain on,

Anybody else, especially someone that I care about.
You’re the one who should be loved and I’m the one who’s all strung out.

I am not the answer.
I am not your savior.
I can barely even stay alive.
I’m not a hero.
I’m just a zero.
Why can’t you see, you can do better than me?

I needed a crutch, but I fell in love.
Now I’m no good to anyone.
And I’m sorry if you wanted something I can’t give.
I would if I could but my heart is gone.

I’m not a hero.
I’m just a zero.
Why can’t you see?

I am not the answer.
I am not your savior.
I can barely even stay alive.
I’m not a hero.
I’m just a zero.
Why can’t you see, you can do better.

I’m not the answer.
I am not your savior.
I can barely even stay alive.
I’m not a hero.
I’m just a zero.
Why can’t you see, you can do better than me?
