BE BETTER HE SAID



Be Better he said

He told me to be better
To be better than him
You seem just to know how to upset her
It seems our relationship is grim

I didn’t understand then
But now I see perfectly
This will never stop, it will just happen again
You don’t take this urgently

You can’t, and won’t stop
Not even for me
You had a gun, and the sound went POP!
I wish for you just to be free

You had taken my father, just like you do with money
Like you tried with that boy’s, and man’s life
It seems as though it can never be sunny
We will likely always be in strife

You had never told me
Told me about the reasons as to why
I wish for you to be able to see
To see that I love you so much that I would die

Yet at the same time I hate you
I hate you just as much I love you and more
I just wish it wasn't true
 You also love to ingore
