lyrics

You make your bed and you lay in it every night
Dirty sheets and a badly lit fluorescent light
Sweet dreams they never seem to come to you
A broken record and you’re never playing nothing new
And every day is exactly like the day before
Your absent mind lying dormant on your messy floor
You’re on the line but its never gonna help you out
Just admit that its something you could do without

You don’t wanna know
That what you reap is what you sow
But we both know
That it could make you better
You don’t wanna know
That what you reap is what you sow
But we both know
That it could make you better

You make your mark but you never get your timing right
And I’m convinced that its only ever out of spite
The outside world is never gonna let you in
Not when the veins that are feeding it are wearing thin
And every day is exactly like the day before
Your absent mind lying dormant on your messy floor
And every step is a step that you don’t wanna take
Too bad the bed that you lie in is the one you make

You don’t wanna know
That what you reap is what you sow
But we both know that it could make you better
You don’t wanna know
That what you reap is what you sow
But we both know
That it could make you better

Cus you don’t wanna know
You don’t wanna know

But it could make you better
It could make you better
It could make you better
It could make you better
It could make you better
It could make you better
