Ross & The Wolf - Better Than I Am Lyrics

On the floor he sat
Right near a picture of himself
Under some records that I haven't played in years

I keep saying I'll pick him up
I keep saying I'll dust them off
I keep singing a song that runs in circles in my mind

Be better than I am
Be stronger than I was when I saw wrong
Be smarter than I ever was when they told me to try

Make your own mistakes
Just make sure to own them all the way
And even when you tire won't you please please try to be better than I am

Such a heavy weight to bare
Those eyes always staring
If I can't be myself than who am I at all

Do I show you my darkest sides
Or paint a picture they will call white lies
I just want to take the path that makes you happy in the end

Be better than I am
Be stronger than I was when I saw wrong
Be smarter than I ever was when they told me to try

Be the bigger man
When you're wrong, admit it and move on
And even when you're lost won't you please please try to be better than I am
