Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt. 2) (Lukas Graham 2016)

Текст песни Lukas Graham - Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt. 2) (Lukas Graham 2016)

[Verse 1]
I got the letter back, saying I can come and see you
I really don't have time, but promised that I'd come and see you
You're sitting far away, but do you know I sometimes need you?
I know that you deserve the time you got, of all the people
I know you never bent, even in the strongest wind
I really wished to every God that you were innocent
I'm happy and I'm proud that I can still call you my friend
I hope you read the letters and the magazines I send

[Pre-Chorus]
You got your head up
But I don't have my hopes high
I know that you're a good man
And that's what brings a tear to my eye

[Chorus]
I'm like, oh
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't no
No one can change it, no one can do it better but yourself

[Verse 2]
I was 16 and we used to roll together
You told me back then that I was meant for something better
You know in our life nothing's gon' change but the weather
It seems it been forever since we really stuck together
I'm living a crazy life, I wish that you could see it too
See a thousand people sing my song from me to you
Every time I sing it, you know I'm bleeding too
Man, I accept you as you are, no, I don't need the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
I got my head up
But I ain't got my hopes high
See, I know you're a good man
And it, it brings a tear to my eye

[Chorus]
And I'm like, oh
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't no
No one can change it, no one can do it better but yourself

[Verse 3]
I reminisce to back then when it was you and I
Smoking big fat blunts, drive-in movie night
They tried to get you down, but you refused to die
They tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly
You'd rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail
They're only punishing a soul that you will never sell
We both know that we owe nothing to each other
But can you blame me for loving and missing my brother?

[Chorus]
Oh
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't no
No one can change it, no one can do it better but yourself
Oh
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't no
No one can change it, no one can do it better but yourself
