Love You Better
Echosmith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh

Why?
Never wrote to tell me goodbye
I guess that I
Got too busy to notice the signs

I know, I know, I know, I know
That it's my fault, I'm responsible
I know, I know, I know, I know
That sometimes love is hard to hold

Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better
I'm trying to say that I could love you better
Love you better, love you better

Fire
Burnin' deep within me, desire
I'm on the wire
Stuck between the now and goodbye

I know, I know, I know, I know
It's been two weeks since I heard from you
I know, I know, I know, I know
That sometimes love's easy to lose

Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better
I'm trying to say that I could love you better
Love you better, love you better

Now you're gone
Is there a way to make you stay?
Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better

Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?

Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better

Oh, oh
Love you better
Oh (is it too late for me to love you better?)
Oh (love you better)
Love you better

Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll try, I'll try to love you better
To love you better
