Hold on to that youthful smile you have
And hold on to that loving way
Way better than me
Way better than, way better than me
You're way better than me
My friend, I can't handle this weed that they gave me
But it's jogging my memory some
And I'm here in the land of the plenty
And I don't know what I have become
Beady eyes behind the tint of a seedy ride
Can hide the scent of a sweet demise
When I don't know what I should believe
Stay beautifully naive
Hold on to that youthful smile you have
And hold on to that loving way
Way better than me
Way better than, way better than me
You're way better than me
My friend, I can't handle this liquor they poured me
But I'm swigging it back just the same
Ran away from the arms that adored me
And I'm tired ignoring the pain
Time beats away, love is only streets away
I've been thinking 'bout you recently
And searching a kind of reprieve
Stay beautifully naive
Hold on to that youthful smile you have
And hold on to that truthful way
Hold on to that youthful smile you have
And hold on to that loving way
Way better than me
Every memory I tried to hold inside of me
Is burying so heavily, a shame our love could never be
But the rules of playing, I'm playing a loser's game
And I'm here like an old fool
Craving that old school love
My friend
And that's what I want to see
When I'm alone, when I'm alone, when I'm alone
I turn around and leave
Now I've been shown, you've always known
Way better than me
And that's what I want to see
When I'm alone, when I'm alone, when I'm alone
I turn around and leave
Now I've been shown, you've always known
Way better than me
Way better than, way better than me
You're way better than me
