Better of Me

Don’t take it the wrong way I’m
having a hard day my
pills they got the better of me
No I don’t wanna tell you how
You’re make me feel right now
I’m struggling to keep a straight face

Another aimless script
One that quickens the breath
Leaves me glassy eyed and useless
It’s nothing you don’t already know
I’m trying to cover it with prose
But I wish I’d never shown you

You know I’ve been laid out
Seventeen days now
Doctors say I should be okay by now
Now they got nothing left to say
They take the better of me

I’m thinking on the better of times
before this consumed our life
Regret that was the best of me
No, don’t take that the wrong way I’m
Just having a hard day my
Pain steals the sweeter words with the better of me

You know I’ve been laid out
going on three months now
Friends think that I look fine
They whisper is it all in my mind
The doctors can’t figure out why
It’s taking such a long time
They all steal the better of me

I don’t wonder where I go
I know
Yes, I know

You know I’ve been laid out
How many months by now?
I think that I’ll stop trying
Baby it just wastes my time

You know I’ve been laid out
so many god damn days now
Friends think that I look fine
but it can’t be all in my mind
I lost the better of me

Don’t take this the wrong way I’m
Just having a hard day my
Pills they get the better of me
