Better Part of Me

sunrise creepin in, popcorn ceiling

i wake up with a smile

roll out of bed and check my phone, i left the ringer on

stare at the screen for awhile

you didn’t text, and you didn’t call

but what else did i expect

what else did i expect

full tank of gas, an empty stomach

hide my face out in public

cus it’s gettin harder to leave

take your posters, leave the nails

take your family, hoist the sails

don’t ask questions just believe

i’ll never text, and ill never call

i’ll just leave you in this mess

am i stubborn or just scared

am i selfish or socially impaired

i didn’t mean to leave that quickly

i was scared you wanted to see

the better part of me

taking time to myself

lay that pistol on the shelf

the leaves are fallin down

one thing you’ve got to learn

is to leave before you get burned

in this dead end town

i’ll never text, and i’ll never call

but what else did you expect

am i stubborn or just scared

am i selfish or socially impaired

i didn’t mean to leave that quickly

i was scared you wanted to see

you just wanted to see

am i an orphan or just alone

am i stranded or looking for home

i didn’t mean to leave that quickly

i was scared you deserved to see

the better part of me
