Build A Better World - London Elektricity, Emer Dineen

I’ve been on my way down

I’ve been livin' with the lights out

Get in trouble by the idle sounds of the day-to-day

I know I let you down

I did nothing to protect you

Didn’t know how much you went through

And now it’s too late

I wish I did more to love you

I wish I did more to keep you safe

And if I only could

I’d build a better world for you

I don’t wanna see you hurt or struggling

Sitting in your cold water

I wish I was fighting for ya

Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause

I don’t wanna see you hurt or struggling

Sitting in your cold water

I wish I was fighting for ya

Keeping you close in that—

I wish I did more to love you

I wish I did more to keep you safe

And if I only could

I’d build a better world for you

Because you are the only feeling that I know

And lovers are left to fight it now you’ve gone

I followed your fire 'cause I need you to know

I’d build a better world for you

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)

Weights heavy on me now

Thinking 'bout all that you went through

Doing anything to numb your way to an empty space

Staring at the ceiling

Trying to figure out a meaning

Trying to buy into the feeling

Of a better place

I wish I did more to love you

I wish I did more to keep you safe

And if I only could

I’d build a better world for you

I don’t wanna see you hurt or struggling

Sitting in your cold water

I wish I was fighting for ya

Keeping you close in that lonely war 'cause

I don’t wanna see you hurt or struggling

Sitting in your cold water

I wish I was fighting for ya

Keeping you close in that—

I wish I did more to love you

I wish I did more to keep you safe

And if I only could

I’d build a better world for you

For you

For you
