Build a Better World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been on my way down I've been livin' with the lights out Get in trouble by the idle sounds of the day-to-day I know I let you down I did nothing to protect you Didn't know how much you went through And now it's too late [Chorus] I wish I did more to love you I wish I did more to keep you safe And if I only could I'd build a better world for you [Post-Chorus] I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling Sitting in your cold water I wish I was fighting for ya Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling Sitting in your cold water I wish I was fighting for ya Keeping you close in that— [Chorus] I wish I did more to love you I wish I did more to keep you safe And if I only could I'd build a better world for you [Verse 2] Because you are the only feeling that I know And lovers are left to fight it now you've gone I followed your fire 'cause I need you to know I'd build a better world for you [Bridge] (Do-do-do, do-do-do) (Do-do-do, do-do-do) (Do-do-do, do-do-do) (Do-do-do, do-do-do) (Do-do-do, do-do-do) (Do-do-do, do-do-do) [Verse 3] Weights heavy on me now Thinking 'bout all that you went through Doing anything to numb your way to an empty space Staring at the ceiling Trying to figure out a meaning Trying to buy into the feeling Of a better place [Chorus] I wish I did more to love you I wish I did more to keep you safe And if I only could I'd build a better world for you [Post-Chorus] I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling Sitting in your cold water I wish I was fighting for ya Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause I don't wanna see you hurt or struggling Sitting in your cold water I wish I was fighting for ya Keeping you close in that— [Chorus] I wish I did more to love you I wish I did more to keep you safe And if I only could I'd build a better world for you For you For you
