## Lyrics

[Chorus]

All the shattered up glass, throw the dishes at the wall

Million pieces of my heart on the floor

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

[Verse 1]

I can picture us, fucked up and free

Just the two of us, that’s all we need

It was good enough

It was good enough

Kinda serious, riding full speed

Just the two of us, falling so deep

It was good enough

It was good enough, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

It was only you and me under the covers

We were mixing up all different types of colors

Used to feel something, missing that something

Something is broken

[Chorus]

All the shattered up glass, throw the dishes at the wall

Million pieces of my heart on the floor

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

Built a porcelain house that we love to dance around

And we smash it all down to the ground

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

[Verse 2]

Tried to patch it up, ribbons and strings

We ran outta luck, tears in our drinks

Was I good enough? (Was I, was I?)

You were good enough (Woah I-)

[Pre-Chorus]

It was only you and me under the covers

We were mixing up all different types of colors

Used to feel something, missing that something

Something is broken

[Chorus]

All the shattered up glass, throw the dishes at the wall

Million pieces of my heart on the floor

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

Built a porcelain house that we love to dance around

And we smash it all down to the ground

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

[Bridge]

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(I wish, I wish)

[Chorus]

All the shattered up glass, throw the dishes at the wall

Million pieces of my heart on the floor

I wish we were better together

I wish we were better together

All the shattered up glass, throw the dishes at the wall

Million pieces of my heart on the floor

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

Built a porcelain house that we love to dance around

And we smash it all down to the ground

I wish we were better together

I wish

I wish we were better together

I wish, I wish

[Outro]

(Oh my god)
