There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

had that line from tears over beers stuck in my head and it turned into this

Lyrics

you said all you want is for
me to get better
but when i lie awake at night
i wish you were worse
at least if you're bad too
then i'm not the problem
if everything's my fault
then why does it hurt?

god i remember
every time
you told me you loved me
now you tell me you lied
we could have been something
but i wasnt right
you told me you loved me
so why did you lie?

and now when i fall asleep
i still leave the bed half-empty
i see your face, all messed up from me
from acts that you made me do
'cause it's the only way you wanted me to love you

you said all you want is for
me to get better
but when i lie awake at night
i wish you were worse
at least if you're bad too
then i'm not the problem
if everything's my fault
then why does it hurt?

you've still got that dress
from when we could match
i burned it to tell myself
i'm not attached
i scream in silence
'cause you said i'm too angry
but if i was too much
then why were we married?

and when im all alone
i stare at all our photos
'cause you're in the background
of every picture i'd take
when did our love turn to hate?

you said all you want is for
me to get better
but when i lie awake at night
i wish you were worse
at least if you're bad too
then i'm not the problem
if everything's my fault
then why does it hurt?

Great lyrics, a lot of emotion and power as well as enough details to ground the song. "I wish you were worse" is such an honest perspective and I appreciate that being represented!
