Better Than That Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have a lotta dreams I still haven’t set out
Troubled by the couple hundred people I have let down
All the struggles they have faced, I have never helped out
Look at yourself now, I hope you made your self proud
I have often tossed and turned, all the things I ought to learn
Now I’m feelin’ lossed and yearning for a future I don’t earn
I don’t work for nothing, so success I’m not really worth
Your blessings, give it to somebody else, it’s not my turn
I’ve been through it all, heartbreaks and large stages
All the things that make another pathetic star famous
I’ve try to stay optimistic, but you know war rages
Now I’m left battling both my and your demons
So, keep measuring the risks and the outcomes
Keep praying all the memories can be outrun
Move your feet to your own set of loud drums
And when your raise your voice, make sure they know where the sounds from

[Hook]
I’m tryna decide, if I’m worth your time
But I think you’ll find
That you are better than that
I hope that you laugh, when I cross your path
But the best times have passed
I hope you’re better than that
[Verse 2]
It’s easy to believe that you’re better than me
You got indecision on your face, my displays perjury
Sure, you’re free! I’m entrapped in my own misery
Wondrin’ why we made a mystery with our history
So easy to distance me, you’re better than commitment
I’ve said it once before, once again, I’m a cynic
But my words had a difference, because they were authentic
I see the beauty in your heart, I don’t focus on the image
I had a love for you, I don’t think you’ll ever witness
Cause you’re too caught up in here and now, to focus on the distant
I had the perfect song for you, you didn’t wanna listen
So I’ll reach for my better years, you enjoy your precious minute
But don’t ever try to tell me you were better than it all
Cause you won’t be able to answer the future when it calls
And when you’re finally able to get past my little flaws
I hope you know that I’ll be sitting right here laughing at it all

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Now I’m livin my life, no one by my side
But I’m still alive, guess I’m better than you
But still I look back, at the best thing I had

[Verse 3]
And baby that was you
I said I wasn’t broken, but lately I’m in two
Pieces, and the thing is I don’t know what to do
With the side of me that I’m still holding on to
But the part of me you have, I guess it’s lost forever
You’re just gonna keep, if that’s the cost, whatever
Enjoy your victory, have fun with the memories
I’m gonna say goodbye now, enjoy your fuckin history
[Hook 2x]
