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 promise 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 bend

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've got your head up

But I don't have my hopes high

I know that you are a good man

And that's what brings the tear to my eye

I'm like

Ohhhh

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 is going to change but the weather

It seems it's been forever since we really stuck together

I'm living a crazy life and 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, it brings a tear to my eye

And I'm like

Ooooh

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 to 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?

Ooooh

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

Ohhh

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
