You Could Do Better Lyrics by Lack of Afro

I’m Here Now

2020

I was with my old friend yesterday
She said she had something to say
She looked me in the face
And said simple and plain
You could do better
And I knew it was coming from love
And my heartbeat started speeding up
I was looking at the truth
Knowing there's nothing to prove
'Cause I can do better
Oh, you ain't telling me anything
I don't already know
But it's hard, it's hard, so hard
To let it go
It hurt to hear my friends
Have been out there whispering
And they knew all along
That I'd been doing wrong
Yeah
Oh, you ain't telling me anything
I don't already know
But it's hard, it's hard, so hard
To let it go
Cold wind on my back like icicles
Dirty water in the middle of the night
Trickles down on concrete
The puddles like screens
An image of myself ripples and gleams
There's a late night showing of my life's deleted scenes
The preferred themes of deferred dreams
It's never too late like it seems
I could redeem myself maybe in a sequel
Turn a war (Like life) peaceful, uh
Oh, you ain't telling me anything
I don't already know
But it's hard, it's hard, so hard
To let it go
