Joe Boyd - I Wanted Better for You Lyrics

Here I go
Here I go
I guess my heart stopped beating
A trick I keep repeating
But I come back, get up off the ground
'Cause this sick f*ck wants another round
Exorcise all this poison
Let no more evil noise in
We've been ripped off for a shitty life
Confused by love and the city light
I wanted better for you
I wanted better things, everything you wanted too
I wanted better for you
I wanted better things, everything we never knew
Maybe it's all the shit that we've seen
Maybe I still hear you scream
Sentimental hearts want to see the light
But the truth just ain't true without a bite
Those lights they fuel our dreaming
A scene that's so misleading
Conflicting soul's get disavowed
But this mad cunt doesn't need a crowd
I wanted better for you
I wanted better things, everything you wanted too
I wanted better for you
I wanted better things, everything we never knew
But will I just go back around again? It's all I know
I wanted better for you
Wanted better things, you wanted too
Wanted better for you
I wanted better things, we never knew
Here it's been so hard to breathe lately
Well now you know how I feel when I get so high, so low
You've seen it all and now you can name me
It's hard to spare some empathy, I know
