[Verse 1] You say you’re tired of my temper You throw my secrets in my face You drink your pride like it’s water Then ask why I don’t like the taste You want me sharp You want me shallow You want me crawling on the floor You call it love You call it honesty It sounds like keeping score [Chorus] You want me bitter like you Want my heart all rusted through Is it so hard Is it so hard To be better than you? You want my warmth turning cold You want my kindness controlled Is it so hard Is it so hard To be better than you? [Verse 2] You twist my words till they’re tangled Say every bruise is in my head You light a match Then play the victim When the flames get close to your bed I used to second-guess my shadow Now I see what you’ve become You hate the shine in my reflection You’d rather both of us go numb [Chorus] You want me bitter like you Want my heart all rusted through Is it so hard Is it so hard To be better than you? You want my warmth turning cold You want my kindness controlled Is it so hard Is it so hard To be better than you?
