Hands Like Houses
Better Before
[Intro: Josh Raven]
I was better before I met you
Before I met you

[Verse 1: Josh Raven]
I'm always coming down (down)
Living at the bottom
This pain don't feel the same (same)
Drowning in the sorrow
The magic you erased
Left me so hollow
The smile upon your faces haunt me

[Pre-Chorus: Aaron Gillespie, Josh Raven]
Lying again, playing the game
Finding a way to barely escape
Look at your smile, circle the drain
A beautiful cycle
On and off again
Bathing in the sin
I can never seem to win
(But you love to watch me try)

[Chorus: Josh Raven, Aaron Gillespie]
It felt good to know (To know)
I let you in my soul (My soul)
I gave you all control (Control)
But I was better bеfore, better bеfore
Better before I met you
[Post-Chorus: Josh Raven]
Before I met you

[Verse 2: Aaron Gillespie]
It felt so good to hate
And see just what you did
Would you chase me down the drain
Or live in your madness
There's no chance that I'll get worse
There's no chance that I won't hurt

[Pre-Chorus: Aaron Gillespie]
Lying again, playing the game
Finding a way to barely escape
Look at your smile, circle the drain
A beautiful cycle

[Chorus: Josh Raven, Aaron Gillespie]
It felt good to know (Good to know)
I let you in my soul (My soul)
I gave you all control (Control)
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you

[Bridge: Aaron Gillespie]
Is it better now?
Do you think you got enough?
Ever wonder why?
I never gave it up
It's so funny how
You ruined me with love
Ain't it funny that
[Breakdown: Aaron Gillespie, Josh Raven]
You'll never get enough
You'll never get enough
(Why won't you?)
You'll never take enough

[Pre-Chorus: Aaron Gillespie]
It felt good to know
I let you in my soul

[Chorus: Josh Raven, Aaron Gillespie]
I gave you all control
(I gave you all control)
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you
(It felt good to know)
Before I met you
(I let you in my soul)
But I was better before I met you

[Post-Chorus: Josh Raven]
Better before I met you
Better before I met you
