Better

[Verse 1: Leon Bridges]

Come so many miles and memories from that block

Feels like I jumped on a silver bird and never came back

I never get to see you

But you always hold me down

You never fault me when I leave you

I'm finally coming back around

It's like I never get a minute

Feels like I'm never not on tour

Sometimes I start to miss you

What am I doing all this for?

[Chorus: Leon Bridges]

I wanted to be better, a better brother

To be there for my sister, no father figure

Come home for the summer, be with my mother

I'm not an only son but where is my brother?

Protect her from the bad man, come from the gutter

She said she'd be okay and I had to trust her

Sometimes you gotta leave, you don't even wanna

Sometimes you gotta leave, you don't even wanna

[Verse 2: Kiana Ledé]

Never get much time at home usually

Yeah it's always on standby

But you by my side anyway

Getting real comfortable just sitting in the same place

It's kinda weird that I can put away my suitcase

I'm trying to take advantage of all of the same space that I share with you

It's like our time is on a meter

Until I go back out on tour

It's like I never get to see you

What am I doing all this for?

[Chorus: Leon Bridges, Kiana Ledé, Leon Bridges & Kiana Ledé]

I wanted to be better, a better brother

To be there for my sister (Yeah), no father figure (My sister, yeah, yeah)

Come home for the summer, be with my mother

I'm not an only son but where is my brother?

Protect her from the bad man (Bad man), come from the gutter

She said she'd be okay and I had to trust her

Sometimes you gotta leave, you don't even wanna

Sometimes you gotta leave, you don't even wanna

[Bridge: Kiana Ledé]

Fly with me, fly with me

'Cause you know we don't got long

Fly with me, fly with me

Sometimes you gotta

Sometimes I get to stay behind and enjoy life, that's the point of 9 to 5, to 5

Waiting for the wait time, it's a way of mind

Sometimes I leave and don't even wanna

[Chorus: Kiana Ledé, Leon Bridges, Leon Bridges & Kiana Ledé]

I wanted to better, a better sister (Yeah, ayy)

To be there for my brother you know I love you (You know I love you)

Be there for my mom, she know all my songs, yeah

I don't wanna leave, I just really wanna (But you know I be on the road)

Be there for my daddy, he need a side kick (He need a side kick)

Be there for my best friend, someone to kick with (And you know I do)

But this high demand shit fuck with my plans, yeah

Sometimes you gotta leave, you don't even wanna
