Lyrics

[Intro: Arlo Parks] Is it better than, is it better than nothing? Is it better than, is it better than nothing? [Verse 1: Arlo Parks] "I have always dulled my senses" I told Lae when she checked in Hid myself in art and women Needed things to reach towards [Pre-Chorus: Arlo Parks] But now I'm here Feelin' super bad about it Tryna find the courage Turnin' up the shower on cold If I tell you that I'm tryin' [Chorus: Arlo Parks, Sampha , Both ] Is it better than, is it better than— I can't find no love, no love for myself Is it better than, is it better than— I can't find no love, no love for myself Is it better than, is it better than— I can't find no love, no love for myself [Verse 2: Arlo Parks] Treat myself with this impatience I would never give a friend Sometimes when I cycle later Wish I'd disappear at speed [Pre-Chorus: Arlo Parks] But now I'm here Feelin' super bad about it Finally admit it And I maybe I asked you to feel better If I tell you that I'm sorry [Chorus: Arlo Parks, Sampha , Both ] Is it better than, is it better than— I can't find no love, no love for myself Is it better than, is it better than— I can't find no love, no love for myself Is it better than, is it better than— I can't find no love, no love for myself [Post-Chorus: Sampha] I can't find no love, no love for myself No love for myself [Outro: Sampha] Spread on thin ice Trick of the mind Hardens your feelings (Woah) The world was on fire (On fire) Yet I turn away, away (Turn, turning) Swimmin' in ice (Swim) I swim for my love, away from the demons (Oh) But the clarity lies in the direction of pain Ooh-ooh, the flames
