I'll Be Better

(album: The Collections Of Mr. Nice Guy - 2019)

I'll be better off this time
Soon as I get you off my mind
Girl, I'll be better
I'll be better
Wasting all my time
Soon as I get you off my mind (get you off my mind)
Girl I'll feel better
I'll feel better

No, I don't think that you're the best human being in the world for me
I mean I love you, but you really ain't the girl for me (girl for me)
It's like we never found a way to make our tune match key
And you just kept on driving (driving)... Fuck
Yo, I was trying to slow down, you we're trying to peel out
I was trying to be found and put that medicine down
We tried to chase another rainstorm but hated the clouds
You put your jaws around it's neck and bit down (down, down)
We don't really talk about anything worth a damn now
Slowly drifting farther apart with both hands out
I remember when I used to be your man
And now you treat me like a roommate that you can barely stand now (stand now)
I guess it's only natural to grow apart
I hope you find what you're looking for, and you make a spark
The heart wants what the heart wants, man
I fucking hate that saying

I'll be better off this time
Soon as I get you off my mind
Girl, I'll be better
I'll be better
Wasting all my time
Soon as I get you off my mind (get you off my mind)
Girl I'll feel better
I'll feel better

Yo
Back and forth like a ping-pong match
Girl that's over now and I don't need to think on that (think on that)
We don't need to go and act like your things aren't packed
And you ain't talking to that new dude now... Fuck
Yo, I was trying to build up, you were trying to step back
I was breathing in, you're smoking, writing songs in the ash
Yo didn't seem to give a damn about the balancing act
So when it tumble to the ground, you just laugh (laugh, laugh)
We don't really talk about anything of importance
Letting out the bowl in the room full of porcelain
Now I rembemer before this had ran it's course then
How you used to look at me and tell me I was yours then (yours then)
We couldn't make it work and it's ok
I'ma take the time that I need to just make it go away (go away)
It's not my first rodeo girl
It's been really nice knowing you girl
Peace

I'll be better off this time
Soon as I get you off my mind
Girl, I'll be better
I'll be better
Wasting all my time
Soon as I get you off my mind (get you off my mind)
Girl I'll feel better
I'll feel better
I'll be better off this time
Soon as I get you off my mind
Girl, I'll be better
I'll be better
Wasting all my time
Soon as I get you off my mind
Girl I'll feel better
I'll feel better
