You Could Do Better - Lack Of Afro

I was with my old friend yesterday

She said she had something to say

She looked me in the face

And said simple and plain

You could do better

And I knew it was coming from love

And my heartbeat started speeding up

I was looking at the truth

Knowing there’s nothing to prove

'Cause I can do better

Oh, you ain’t telling me anything

I don’t already know

But it’s hard, it’s hard, so hard

To let it go

It hurt to hear my friends

Have been out there whispering

And they knew all along

That I’d been doing wrong

Yeah

Oh, you ain’t telling me anything

I don’t already know

But it’s hard, it’s hard, so hard

To let it go

Cold wind on my back like icicles

Dirty water in the middle of the night

Trickles down on concrete

The puddles like screens

An image of myself ripples and gleams

There’s a late night showing of my life’s deleted scenes

The preferred themes of deferred dreams

It’s never too late like it seems

I could redeem myself maybe in a sequel

Turn a war (Like life) peaceful, uh

Oh, you ain’t telling me anything

I don’t already know

But it’s hard, it’s hard, so hard

To let it go
