about

In “Better” singer-songwriter Saint shares a personal journey on becoming a better person, recognizing that it takes work to get there. “I would come and go as I pleased with no real thought of how I might be affecting the other person's emotions. Really me running away from my own emotions and satiating my own needs without considering others.”

lyrics

Verse

Never thought I’d be the one who would, always lead you on
Thought I was a hero but I’m a wolf in your bed
Telling you I need you is just a part of my evil plan
I get what I need then I just slip out the back

Pre-chorus

And I’d hear you cry, come back
But both of us know, I can't

Chorus

I wish I could tell you that I’m better than that but I won’t
You gave me the only key to the heart that beats in your chest
And I’m sorry, I left such a mess

Verse

Really didn’t think it over, living in my selfishness
Pick up the phone and do the same thing again
Every word I said was poison, dripping from a silver tongue
I’d watch as it coarse through every inch of your veins

Pre-Chorus

And I lay you down, again
You tell me to stay, but I can’t

Chorus

I wish I could tell you that I’m better than that but I won’t
You gave me the only key to the heart that beats in your chest
And I’m sorry, I left such a mess

Chorus

I wish I could tell you that I’m better than that but I won’t
You gave me the only key to the heart that beats in your chest
And I’m sorry, I left such a mess
