Better Songtext
von Anni II

Behind those oak trees
Lock and load your gun
Shoot whoever you see
Don′t let them run

Remember when we were kids
Catching stars at the tip of our tongues
Running down those fields
Just to make time go by

Those trees were our friends
Kept our secrets
That summer had no end
And hid us from the world
Didn't know that the sun do burn

Showed your daddy′s gun
And said it killed somebody long ago
Can you aim? Ain't it fun?
It was heavy and cold
On a summer's day


You were sun-kissed and warm
Bruised-up knees from running too fast
From chasing something that′s lost
Maybe something that lasts

Our world was little but ours
Blue-eyed and barefoot, running free and wild
Somehow sheltered from bottles and pills
All came crashing down
I went home, not returning

Were told that you were doing fine
Hadn′t seen you in a while
My mom said, "Don't go near her"
"At her street, there′s only trouble to be found"

It was fun, only games
And I stopped, you went on
And I lost you somewhere
Between midterms and prom
You are here, but I miss you

Some buy you dresses, and some buy you pills
I take one, you take two
Drink it like water, I can't swallow, but still
Tried to follow your falling, and follow I will


If you tell me to leave
I won′t trouble you anymore
And if I ask you
Would you tell me as it is?

I watch you burn out
I see the smoke, should I tell you
That you're not getting better
No, you′re not getting better
Nothing helps, nothing matters
No, you're not getting better
