Briston Maroney - Better Than You Lyrics

Briston Maroney Lyrics

"Better Than You"

Hey there pretty boy...
What would it take to see through those bright blue eyes?

Wish I had the choice, ambition was my father's best advice

So much for this easy living
Jealousy's a game I'm winning
Won't you sit down
So I stand a chance tonight?
I don't wanna be the best
Just better than you, fuck, who was I kidding?

Tried to be the bigger boy, a little bigger than you
But the shoe ain't fitting
I'm the king of jealous feelings
In this sea of envy swimming
I don't wanna be the best, just better than you
Fuck... who was I kidding?

Hey there city boy
What will it take to make you compromise
Cause I don't think you understand
How much of you will always be mine

So much for this easy living
Jealousy's a game I'm winning
Won't you sit down so I stand a chance tonight?
I don't wanna be the best
Just better than you, fuck, who was I kidding?

Tried to be the bigger boy, a little bigger than you
But the shoe ain't fitting
I'm the king of jealous feelings
In this sea of envy swimming
I don't wanna be the best, just better than you
Fuck... who was I kidding?
