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