Better Than Nothing at All

Im a bitter pill on your tongue, but I tell you
Im better than nothing at all
I go down as smooth as a nail or a memory
Drowning in alcohol
Youre afraid of the outside
Youre afraid of the outside creeping in You dont really want me, but youd better believe
Im the ghost in your closet when you turn the lights out
Im rattling round through your bones
I know all your secret designs and amusements
Im listening on the phone
Youre afraid of the outside
Youre afraid of the outside creeping in You dont really want me, but youd better believe
Im better than nothing at all
Im better than nothing at all
Im the rock at the bottom of where you are falling
And when we kiss youll be there
Im the thorn in your side when youre trying to be cool
(but nobody really cares)
Youre afraid of the outside
Youre afraid of the outside creeping in You dont really want me, but youd better believe
Im better than nothing at all
Im better than nothing at all
Im better than nothing at all
Does it matter much that Im such a pariah?
Youre tired and bored with yourself
We could be a royal couple of nothings
cause nothing suits you well
Youre afraid of the outside
Youre afraid of the outside creeping in You dont really want me, but youd better believe
Im better than nothing at all
Im better than nothing at all
Im better than nothing at all
Im better than nothing at all
