Love You Better
John De Sohn Lyrics

Lovers, strangers
People who were once lovers now feel like strangers to each other.

Heart breaks, changes
Their hearts were broken so many times that they can’t keep up with the changes in the relationship.

Every day things
Just regular, everyday things that couples go through.

Been through it all
They've experienced everything together.

Movies, cheap wine
They spent time watching movies and drinking cheap wine together.

Claps and cloud nine
There were happy moments full of applause and laughter.

All of this time
Through all these experiences, he has been longing for her love.

You woke me up in the middle of night
Something is wrong and she woke him up to talk about it.

I knew that something wasn't right
He knew that something was wrong intuitively.

By the look in your eyes
She has been communicating her emotions through her eyes.

So close but still so far away
They are physically close to each other, but emotionally distant.

You say we had a good run
She recognizes that the relationship was good at one point.

But you're turning the page
She is ready to move on and start a new chapter in her life.

I wanna try it one more time
He wants to give their relationship one more chance.

Not go separate ways
He doesn't want them to break up.

We're too close to let it slip away
Their relationship is valuable that they don't want to let it slip away.

So won't you stay?
He is pleading her to stay and work things out.

Oh baby stay the night
He wants her to spend the night with him and have an open conversation.

I know I'll make things right
He is confident that he can make things better this time.

I give you my word this time
He is making a promise to her that he will do better this time.

I'm gonna love you better
He promises to love her better than he did before.

Bitter faces, holy places
They have experienced bitterness and happiness in different places, including places of worship.

We left our traces
They have left their mark on each other's lives.

So forgive, forget
He wants her to forgive and forget about the past.

Focus on me
He wants her to focus on him and their relationship.

And know that darling
He affectionately refers to her as darling.

I'm still longing for your love
He reiterates that he still longs for her love.
