Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt. 2)

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 wish 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've sent

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 sixteen 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 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
