Give You Better
The Correspondents Lyrics

In the public eye he's sweetness and light
When around others, he presents himself as a kind and pleasant person.

but it's a different story in the cover of night
However, when in private, he behaves differently and can be unpleasant.

there's a dark side that he can't help but let rip
He has a negative aspect to his personality that he can't control and often expresses.

and you my dear who takes the full brunt of it
And unfortunately, you bear the brunt of his negative behavior.

How many times have you followed him home, while he shouts at his phone?
Have you witnessed him yelling at his phone while you followed him home multiple times?

Do you believe his boss keeps him in late?
Do you truly believe that his boss requires him to stay late at work?

How many more lies can you take?
You may be growing tired of the continuous lies he tells you.

Is a count of six rows in a seven day week
Do you think his argumentative behavior, six times in a week, is acceptable?

a tally that you're keen to keep?
Are you keeping track of how often he behaves negatively?

He may not hit you but he's broken your things:
Although he doesn't physically hurt you, he has damaged your belongings.

You fix them as another storm spins
You attempt to restore your belongings while another argument looms ahead.

The truth is that you like the white water rapids
To be honest, you enjoy the excitement and unpredictability of being with someone who is volatile.

of a man who is out of control
You enjoy being with someone who can't control themselves.

I can't give you this but if I was yours I'd assume the opposite role
Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with the same sense of chaos, but if I were with you, I would play the opposite role and provide stability.

You know the beast wouldn't even care if his prey bolt the hole
You realize that this man doesn't care about you or your well-being, and will not be affected if you leave him.

You don't need him like I need you,
You don't require him in your life like I need you in mine.

You could leave him oh why won't you
You have the option to leave him, but for some reason you choose to stay.

Your type's a man who likes a fight
You tend to be attracted to men who are argumentative and combative.

From over here it's crystal clear,
From my perspective, it's obvious what needs to be done.

this shatters every principle that you hold dear
However, by staying in this situation, you compromise your values and principles.

and you who sees herself as strong
Despite considering yourself a strong individual, you may be feeling vulnerable in this relationship.

is going to disappear before too long
You may eventually lose yourself and your sense of identity if you continue in this relationship.

Please please please read what I've sent
I implore you to read what I have written for you.

It clearly lays out my intent
The message I have written for you clearly expresses my intentions.

To give you the space to be you again
My goal is to provide you with the freedom to be yourself once more.

I haven't seen you smile since you've been with him
I have noticed that you haven't been as happy since you began this relationship.

oh you better believe (better)
You can trust that I will provide better for you.

giving reasons to leave
By providing a list of reasons to leave, I hope to encourage you to make the right decision for yourself.
