Lukas Graham - Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt.2)

I got the letter back

Saying I can come and see you

I really don't have time

But promised that I'd come and see you

You're sitting far away

But do you know I sometimes need you

I know that you deserve

The time you got of all the people

I know you never bent

Even in the strongest wind

I really wished to every God

That you were innocent

I'm happy and I'm proud

That I can still call you my friend

I hope you read the letters

And the magazines I send


You got your head up

But I don't have my hopes high

I know that you're a good man

And that's what, brings a tear to my eye

I'm like, oh


I hope you know you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better than yourself


I was sixteen

And we used to roll together

You told me back then

That I was meant for something better

You know in our life

Nothing's gonna change but the weather

It seems it's been forever

Since we really stuck together

I'm living a crazy life

I wish that you could see it too

See a thousand people sing

My song from me to you

Every time I sing it

You know I'm bleeding too

Man I accept you as you are

No I don't need the truth


I got my head up

But I ain't got my hopes high

See I know that you're a good man

And it brings a tear to my eye

I'm like, oh


I hope you know you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better than yourself


I reminisce to back then,

when it was you and I

Smoking big fat blunts,

drive in movie night

They tried to get you down,

but you refused to die

They tried to give you angel wings,

but you refused to fly


You'd rather stay in hell,

and take your time in jail

They're only punishing a soul

that you will never sell

We both know that we owe

nothing to each other

But can you blame me,

for loving and missing my brother


I hope you know

you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better than yourself


I hope you know

you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better than yourself
