do better

Singer: brown, chris

i don't know why i even try

'cause you don't want this no more

i would rather leave before i hurt you

and i would have died long ago if i didn't have my faith

i see you're starting to hate me

i see it in your face

my home don't feel like home

just like my heart

it's empty

you changed the number on your phone

so when i call

you ain't gotta listen

and all your girls think that i ain't shit

and they the same ones lost in the club

them bitches is basic

now i'm number one that's lost in love

i can't take it

i'm on my knees

you're gonna see a grown man cry

i won't lie

i'm starting to hate me

a little more and more each day

i don't know me

it's like i can't get out of my own way

and you don't love me

you don't love me

if i knew better

i would do better

looking at the names on your list and i can't find me

i'm deep underwater

are you gon' let me drown?

i see you're happy now

you're the life of the party

acting out

ain't seen you in months

you ain't call me once

and all your boys say that i ain't shit

and they the same ones lost in the club

them niggas is basic

and i'm the one who lost in love

and i can't take it

i'm on my knees

don't you hate to see me cry?

i won't lie

i'm starting to hate me

a little more and more each day

i don't know me

it's like i can't get out of my own way

and you don't love me

you don't love me

if i knew better

i would do better

thinking 'bout you and i

thinking 'bout you and i

my heart's beating in slow motion knowing that it's over

thoughts got me thinking 'bout suicide

baby

this is do or die

when you told me it's over

ain't no point in being sober

all i wanna do is fade away

i hope that god for forgive me

'cause i know you ain't gon' miss me

baby girl

i won't try to say my goodbyes

you ain't gotta shed a tear for me

baby girl

don't cry

i'm starting to hate me

a little more and more each day

i don't know me

it's like i can't get out of my own way

and you don't love me

you don't love me

if i knew better

i would do better

i would do better

i would do better

i would do better

i would do better

i would do better

i would do better

i would do better
