When I Can’t Do Better Lyrics

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

When it gets dark, and it just don’t come easy ’cause it’s too hard
And we too far gone, stay wit’ 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
But the truth is what I do wit’ it is my biz till I’m through wit’ it
And it’s my bed, so I lay in it ’cause I’m cool wit’ 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
And I need you to know

When it gets dark, and it just don’t come easy ’cause it’s too hard
And we too far gone, stay wit’ me now, 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, ah-hey-hey
So embrace me, baby, hold me, baby
When I can’t do better
Ooh, ooh-ooh
