Better With You

you’ve taught me things like drowning
and that it’s not always such a bad thing
because sometimes you’ve got to sink to the bottom
to see all that life can bring
you’ve taught me that good things can happen
but that the bad will always come first
because smiling is always much better
when you know that you’ve survived the worst
and you’ve helped me become much stronger
than I was when I met you
because drowning in alcohol is always the answer
when it’s done with someone like you
