"You Can Do Better Than Me" by Death Cab for Cutie
We're starting to feel
We stayed together out of fear
Of dying alone
I've been slipping through the years
My old clothes don't fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts
Of the people I've been
It's like my heart can't take
My fall in love every day
And I feel like a fool
I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I'm something worth holding on to
These times I think of leaving
But it's something I'll never do
'Cause you can do better than me
But I can't do better than you

It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes
But you're so farsighted that you can't place trust
In what or who you recognize
We sped the Plymouth across the banks of the Mississippi River
Mary Timony was smaller than a superball
Chitter-chatter, all these secrets started giving me the shivers
Plain and simply broken down near Olympia
I think your bruise was understated
Because you can't feel this anymore
It's getting bluer and you can't keep faking
That you can't feel this anymore

I'm going through the same thing right now ♥
