Oh, on the news that I heard yesterday
Just before I thought myself away
Nothing left to see, hoping that I could forget all
What I see and heard on the news
I can't be the best you in this world
As the Christian says, I've known him too long
All thoughts around me swollen
My head, my head
I can't be the best you in this world
Two things on my mind
About to face another day of regret
I can't be the best you in this world
You are always swirling around my head
I can't be the best you in this world
The world will never change
Understand, they're not all so much
As they themselves
It's just they're not pulling on themselves
I can't be the best you in this world
I can't be the best you in this world
I can't be the best you in this world
I'm leaving
I'm leaving
Oh, I said I'm leaving
Before I go, I just won't
I just won't get straightened out
I just won't get straightened out
I just won't get straightened out
Sitting on my bed
About to face another day of guilt and dread
I just won't get straightened out
I can't be the best you in this world
I can't be the best you in this world
I can't be the best you in this world
