lyrics

Somethin’ Better

Hello truth, don’t call me out.
You did not mean, what you did.
I thought of you, up and grown.
To find out, that you’re just a kid.
Who found out? You kid.

I guess I hoped that you’d be somethin’ better.
Somethin’ solid, like a rock, to lean on.
I need a woman, that can storm any kind of weather.
But you’re just the girl, that could drive me home.

Ah look at you, what you’ve become.
You’re still pretty, on the surface shade.
And inside, you got a beautiful heart.
But it’s the ones you spend your nights with,
That have made you lose your place.
You have gone, and lost your place.

I guess I hoped that you’d be somethin’ better.
Somethin’ solid, like a rock, to lean on.
I need a woman, that can storm any kind of weather.
But you’re just the girl, that could drive me home.

And when you close your eyes, I know you feel,
Sometimes a lot and sometimes alone.
You won’t own, your blame and it’s kind of sad.
Find another way to, push it all away,
Keep your feelings hid and find a new escape.

I guess I hoped that you’d be somethin’ better.
Somethin’ solid, like a rock, to lean on.
I need a woman, that can storm any kind of weather.
But you’re just the girl, that could drive me home.
Oh never mind, just drive me home.

Oh never mind, just drive me home.
