Version of Me - Kimbra, Dawn Richard

Next time I’ll be kinder with you

There’s just this habit that I have

I throw my words around like fire

They catch on your good heart and your peace of mind

But next time I’ll be kinder

And if I learn to take it lighter when you

Tell me there’s something that I lack

Would that make you change your mind?

Would that make it better and buy me some time?

Cause I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t

Every time I swear I will, you swear I won’t

There’s a better version of me

Stay for the person I’ll be

If there’s a next time, I’ll fight harder for you

Won’t take for granted what we had

I wake with you in mind, but I’m tired

Fall on different phases are all these faults of mine

Cause I’m damned if I’m true, and I’m damned if I’m lying

Every time you say I lose, I swear that I’m trying

If there’s a better version of me

Would you stay for the person I’ll be?

I’ll be (stay)

For the person I’ll be (stay)

(Stay) for the person I’ll be

Stay (stay) for the person I’ll be

(Stay) stay for the person I’ll be

Stay for the person I’ll be
