lyrics

There's a mark on the wall where you measured me
I was shorter than you by a razor blade
all my songs in the night
couldn't stack high enough to reach you

There's a stain on the floor where you read my lips
When I poured out my soul and I raised my fists
You said, "The harder you try, the quicker you'll die"

Oh I try so hard
and I'm good at countin' cards
but I think

You're better at believin'
You're better at believin'
You're better at believin'

I keep that Bible of yours in the Goodwill box
'Cause the Psalms and the Proverbs they still won't talk
Feels like all of my Gods are
somewhere on these strings

And You make your decisions, so I have my doubts
don't talk about love if you won't show me how
you see the galaxy
I can't get past these burnin' trees

Oh, I try so hard
it's been breakin' my heart
'Cause I think

You're better at believin'
You're better at believin'
You're better at believin'

Every night gets a little worse
Every prayer feels like a curse
and you're down on your knees
like it easy
