Version of Me

Next time I'll be kinder with you
 There's just this habit that I have
 
 I throw my words around like fire
 They catch on your good heart and your peace of mind
 Next time I'll be kinder
 If I learn to take it lighter when you
 Tell me there's something that I lack
 Would that make you change your mind?
 Would that make it better and buy me some time?
 'Cause I'm damned if I do
 And I'm damned if I don't
 Every time I swear I will
 You say that I won't
 But there's a better version of me

 Stay for the person I'll be

 If there's a next time I'll fight harder for you
 Won't take for granted what we had
 I wake with you in mind but I'm tired
 Of all these different phases
 Are all these faults of mine?
 'Cause I'm damned if I'm true
 And I'm damned if I'm right
 Every time you say I'll lose
 I swear that I'm trying
 If there's a better version of me
 Would you stay for the person I'll be?
