Better Stead

I think our love was made of drugs

300 milligrams of affection

Take twice a day and let yourself play

Now we’ve gone cold turkey

And there is no reason left to stay

I’m not gonna play these games

Let you make me think i haven’t earned love

I know where i’ve been son

And i know where i’m from

I don’t deserve your derision

I’ve earned more than you could ever hope to give

And I’m fine with all you’ve got

But you won’t give me one red cent

And that my friend just won’t float

Keep your coldness to yourself

I’ve always been reaching for the sun

And you’ve only ever left me cold

I’d rather be lonely alone

Than face one more minute of your stone

You always try to convince me

That i don’t love myself

But that my friend is where you’re wrong

I love myself enough to know

I’d keep myself in better stead

Than staying stuck beside a man

Who cannot see that i am gold

With you i might tarnish and mold

I’d be better off sparkling all alone
