My Better Me

(album: Swan Songs II - 2017)

My better me
Would give you what you need
And kill the speed
But that ain't me
That's just my better me

My better me
Would bring you through the night
And make it right
But that ain't me
I'm not my better me

He is so much more than me
More than I will ever be
My better me, my better me
When I turn to walk away
He would listen to you, stay
He's not like me
My better me

My better me
Is not so mortified
Fucked up inside, but that ain't me
That's just my better me

My better me
Would leave you when it hurts
Would stop the words, your misery
I'm not my better me

He is so much more than me
More than I will ever be
My better me, my better me
When I turn to walk away
He would listen to you, stay
He's not like me
My better me

My better me, my better me
My better me, my better me

My better me is not illogical
Emotional, from time to time, so cynical
No bullet and no cannonball
Is never the epitome
Of arrogance and bigotry
No advocate of irony
No that is me
I'm not my better me
