[Ricky Reed, Leon Bridges, Kiana Ledé - Better lyrics]
Come so many miles and
Memories from that block
Feels like I jumped on a silver
Bird and never came back
I never get to see you
But, you always hold me down
You never fault me when I leave you
I'm finally coming back around
It's like I never get a minute
Feels like I'm never not on tour
Sometimes I start to miss you
What am I doing all this for?
I wanted to be better, a better brother
To be there for my sister, no father figure
Come home for the summer, be with my mother
I'm not an only son but where is my brother?
Protect her from the bad man
Come from the gutter
She said she'd be okay and I had to trust her
Sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Never get much time at home usually
Yeah it's always on standby
But, you by my side anyway
Getting real comfortable just sitting
In the same place
It's kinda weird that I can
Put away my suitcase
I'm trying to take advantage of all of the
Same space that I share with you
It's like our time is on a meter
Until I go back out on tour
It's like I never get to see you
What am I doing all this for?
I wanted to be better, a better brother
To be there for my sister
(yeah) , no father figure (My sister, yeah
Yeah)
Come home for the summer, be with my mother
I'm not an only son but where is my brother?
Protect her from the bad man
(Bad man) , come from the gutter
She said she'd be okay and I had to trust her
Sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Fly with me, fly with me
'Cause you know we don't got long
Fly with me, fly with me sometimes you gotta
Sometimes I get to stay
Behind and enjoy life
That's the point of 9 to 5, to 5
Waiting for the wait time, it's a way of mind
Sometimes I leave and don't even wanna
I wanted to better, a better sister
(yeah, ayy) to be there for my brother
You know I love you (You know I love you)
Be there for my mom, she know all my songs
Yeah
I don't wanna leave, I just really wanna
(But, you know I be on the road)
Be there for my daddy, he need a side kick
(He need a side kick)
Be there for my best friend
Someone to kick with (And you know I do)
But this high demand shit fuck with my plans
Yeah sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Memories from that block
Feels like I jumped on a silver
Bird and never came back
I never get to see you
But, you always hold me down
You never fault me when I leave you
I'm finally coming back around
It's like I never get a minute
Feels like I'm never not on tour
Sometimes I start to miss you
What am I doing all this for?
I wanted to be better, a better brother
To be there for my sister, no father figure
Come home for the summer, be with my mother
I'm not an only son but where is my brother?
Protect her from the bad man
Come from the gutter
She said she'd be okay and I had to trust her
Sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Sometimes you gotta leave
You don't even wanna
Never get much time at home usually
