Lyrics Be the Better One - Grade 2

Be the Better One

Putting yourself first isn’t always selfish
It’s beneficial for both parties
Don’t suffer just for her wish
You know you’re not at ease
Attempt to make everything ok
But these things just can’t be forced
You think you’re doing the right thing
Even though you feel deep remorse
Trying to protect the mantelpiece
But you’re the one doing the damage
Times only causing casualties
When will you finish what you started
It’s so much easier to let it carry on
You’re causing pain and fake happiness for some
Hurry up and just end it, this ain’t no fun
And be the better one
In these times you have to be strong
Don’t avoid the inevitable
The pain caused will soon be gone
You gotta think in the long term
Put on your mask every morning
This can’t be good for your mental health
The cloud just keeps on pouring
Why are you doing this to yourself
If you’re not the primary character in your own story
Then something has gone wrong
Don’t let anybody take full control
You are your own person
