Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind pt. 2) - Lukas Graham

I got the letter back

saying I can come and see you

I really don't have time,

but promise 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 bend,

even in the strongest wind

I really wish 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've sent

You've got your head up,

but I don't have my hopes high

I know that you are a good man

and that's what brings the tear to my eye

Unlike

Ohhhh...

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

I was sixteen and we used to roll together

You told me back then

that I was meant for something better

You know in our life nothing is going to change but the weather

It seems it's been forever since we really stuck together

I'm living a crazy life and 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 and I don't need the truth

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 the tear to my eye

And I've lied

Ooooh...

I hope 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

I reminisce to back then when it was you and I

Smoking big fat blunts driving, moving ahead

They tried to get you down,

but you refused to die

They tried to give to angel wings,

but you refused to fly

You'd rather stay in hell

and take your time in jail

They're only punishing the 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

Ooooh...

I hope 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

Ohhh

I hope 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
