Brandon Beal - Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt. 2) lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 wished 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 send [Chorus] 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 [Interlude] 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 than yourself [Verse 2] 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 gonna change but the weather It seems it's 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 [Chorus] I got my head up But I ain't got my hopes high See I know that you're a good man And it 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 than yourself [Verse 3] 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 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 than yourself 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 than yourself
