Better Than Me

from Hail Mary Songs by John Hays

/

lyrics

I didn't wanna confess this, but I think you were right. when you said that I didn't care about my own life. the truth is I really don't care about much anymore. just another piece of dust floating through the floor.

you think you're better than me? I wish you were

I wish I could write a song that didn't make you laugh. and I didn't need guitar to say the pains I have. I've seen those smiles come and I've made them go. sometimes I don't wanna laugh when I'm feelin low.

you think you're better than me? you probably should be

and if I'm still a stranger, the fuck ya need to know? I get up early and I go to work, then I come back home. I pretend there are places that I should be, just places to kill some time then I'm back asleep

you think you're better than me? well who the fuck wouldn't be?

I been tryin hard to laugh
swear to god that I have.
I just wish that I had somethin
other than this shitty summer to smile at
