When I Can’t Do Better

Don't hold your love over my head
Please don't use it against me
Don't be that way tonight
Don't be that way tonight
Don't touch me with self-righteous hands
Promise you won't judge me
Don't walk away tonight

Embrace me
Save me from myself
Don't you hate me
When I can't do better
Feel me
Heal me if you dare
It would kill me
To lose you forever, mm

When it gets dark and it just don't come easy
'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone
Stay with me now, oh
Pray for me now
When I mean good
But the strength just ain't there to do good
Tell me we good
Talk to me now, when I can't do better

If I give you power to carry me
Don't you use that power just to bury me
It's been a long night
Fuck it, it's been a long life, mm
But the truth is, what I do with it is my biz till I'm through with it
And it's my bed so I lay in it 'cause I'm cool with it

So embrace me
Save me from myself
Don't you hate me
When I can't do better
Feel me
Heal me if you dare
It would kill me
To lose you forever, mm
And I need you to know

When it gets dark and it just don't come easy
'Cause it's too hard and we're too far gone
Stay with me now, oh-oh (with me now)
Pray for me now
When I mean good
But the strength just ain't there to be good
Tell me, we good?
Talk to me now, when I can't do better

When I can't do better
Ooh, baby, love me through it
We can do it, we can get through it
Oh, hey, hey, yeah
So embrace me, baby
Hold me, baby
When I can't do better
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
