My Better Me

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
