Better Than Nothing At All

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
