Better Half
Get Up Kids, The
Four Minute Mile (1997)

I saw my better half,
The better half of a decade,
Slip through my hands,
Inside her hands,
Inside my pockets.
When she reached for her advantages
I should have done something.

I saw my baby boy digging his own hole,
Keeping alive family traditions.
When he lied about intentions
I should have done something.

Well, I blame myself for everything,
It keeps my conscience clean.
I've got bandages to prove it.

I saw my better half,
The better half of a decade,
Slip through my hands,
Inside her hands,
Inside my pockets.
When she reached for her advantages
I should have done something.
