Better Man

They say you were the better man
Always holding on to the years
To the fears
Head down work for a better plan
Saving up all those pitiful tears
Oh the tears
But you work too hard for them
And they gave you nothing in return
In return
It’s a mountain you must climb
Just to leave this past behind
It’s yours if you want it
Don’t say you were the better man
Always holding on to the fears
And the years
Dirt left on your hands
Was the work you did
That no-one asked you to do
But you did
And you wasted
All the hours spent
With hands in pockets
Hands in his
On his
You’re a better man than this
And you’ve found this hard to tell me
But tell me now…
Swipe left, swipe right, swipe up
And you’re not interested
In getting any older
In getting any older
