Better Than

(album: The Red Clay Chronicles - 2006)

People that know me know I don't wear my
Heart on my sleeve, but in my music
This is the only way that I can
Reveal how I feel and have control of it, ohh

(And believe it or not I'm hurtin')
I've just never been good at dealing with this
(And I don't know if it's certain)
If I'm going the right way
(I put it out in the open)
I'm so embarrassed, I'm so ashamed
(I really haven't been a person)
I'm not the man that you fell in love with

You, can, do better, you can do better than
You can do better than me
You, can, do better, you can do better than
You can do better than me

I really don't what's going on
Why I'm not satisfied with the brass spring
(I'll never be satisfied, it must be something inside my mind)
I could feel it slipping through my fingers
When I finally found a love everlasting
(I become preoccupied when the real thing's standing by my side)
Do you know how painful it is
To know just what's wrong and can't fix it?
(To know the solution's still lacking motivation)
I don't really see the need to put you through
The trials that don't apply to you
(Now that's it out in the open) I'm not the man you fell in love with

You, can, do better, you can do better than
You can do better than me
You, can, do better, you can do better than
You can do better than me

(I still think about you every day)
And I keep calling you, but I never what to say
(I wish I could wipe the pain away)
And now what's done is done and there's really no turning back

You, can, do better, better
Better than me
You, can, do better, better
Better than me
