Lukas Graham - Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt. 2) sangtekster (lyrics)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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
