Better Than You

[Verse] Sun fades, shadows dance across my mind Feet drag through a desert, emotion unwind Heart of concrete, tears turned to stone Whisper in the breeze, but I'm all alone [Verse 2] Midnight thoughts like thunderclouds in dark Lightning strikes, echoes leave a mark Once king of dreams, now a pawn to the blues Life’s a chessboard, you know I’m set to lose [Chorus] Better than you, still stuck in the sand Fighting my demons, couldn’t understand A prince in the gutter, crown cracked in two Walking this path, better than you [Verse 3] Echoes of laughter, ghosts from my past They wrote the script, never meant to last Bed of memories, coffin of regret Chasing shadows through a cold silhouette [Bridge] Eyes wide open, but vision’s a blur A garden of sorrow, where roses detest her Mirrors reflect an image misconstrue Every tear shed, somehow still better than you [Verse 4] No solace in diamonds, no peace in gold Art of deception in tales we retold Wounded but wiser, scars as tattoos Soul on this journey, still better than you
