If I could do you one better?
Well that'd just be the day.
I could finally be the last to speak,
or even the last to breathe,
hell, I'd freeze over just to feel that...
shiver.
You'd better grab your sweater.
If I could do you one better?
You might sit still and calm for once.
Instead of looking for a mind to taunt,
finding another flaw to flaunt,
"heavens no! I would...
never."
You always say, just as grey as the weather.
But if I could do you one better?
You would shrink, and you would sink, and you would sin and sigh,
"I've been waiting for this my entire life!"
We'd both know that's a ******* lie.
My eyes, like the earth and sky...
can see through you.
Yet to my heart strings, you will tether,
"You'll never do me one better."

It hurts me that you've always got something more to say. You can never just let something be. No one has their moment when you're around, because you've always got something better. Your life is always harder or your girlfriend is always hotter or you're the biggest loser. Good, bad or indifferent, you just have to be the best at it.
