another new song

I wrote another song today. As usual, I had written the chords down a week or two ago but forgot what the melody was and I couldn't remember what the original plan for the lyrics had been, but something nice came out of it nonetheless. It's called "Better", it's in 4/4 and it's a little more angsty than the other songs (angsty rather than sad, I guess). Here are the lyrics:

Push you away
Pull you back
Reach out my hand
Take it back
Because suddenly,
Everything that made me smile makes me cry
And suddenly,
I want to go but I can't say goodbye

I ask you the questions
And seek all my answers
But shut up
Just shut up
I tell you I hate you
But that I still love you
Just shut up
Shut up

As if everything you say right now could make it better, better better
As if everything you say right could make it all better, better, better

You make me cry
But I won't hang up the phone
You say goodbye
That I need to be alone
Suddenly
I'm not fighting you, I'm fighting me
Don't you know
Being alone's not so bad as being lonely

I ask you to speak
And you say something sweet
But shut up
Just shut up
I tell you I hate you
But that I still love you
Just shut up
Shut up

As if anything you say right now could make it better, better, better
As if anything you say right now could make it all better, better, better

Watching everything change
Colors fading to gray
What could you have to say
To make it better

I tell you I hate you
But that I still love you
Just shut up
Shut up

As if anything you say right now could make it better, better, better
As if anything you say right now could make it all better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
