lyrics

[Eric Robbins] (Ethan Robbins)
I know you miss me, darling.
But is that enough to regret your bold choice
And choose me over all the others?
I know I'm just an average boy.
I’m just a trainwreck, a loser. [Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh]
You’ve always deserved better than me.

I thought that maybe I could be, [Ah, ah, ah ahhhhh, ah ah ah ahhhhh, ah ah ah ahhhhh]
Better than me. (We'll see.)
Oh we'll see. [Ah, ah, ah ahhhhh, ah ah ah ahhhhh, ah ah ah ahhhhh]
If I can become better than me.

The pinks and the reds have [Pinks and reds]
Turned to blacks and blues. [Blacks and blues]
I just don't see myself ever really getting over you. (Do you?)

Oh but maybe I can be [Ah…]
Better than me.
We'll see.
Oh we'll see
If I can become better than me.

I know you miss him, darling. (Oh maybe you miss me.)
But is that enough to regret your poor judgement? (Is that enough?)
And choose him over all the others (I know it's tough)
After all, he's not your average dude (There's so much to do, before I feel good too)
It's true.
Oh but maybe one day I can be
Better for me.
We'll see.
Oh we'll see
If I can become better for me.
Maybe
I can be
Better.
