Leon Bridges
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
