You Deserve Better

Here's another from the high school years.  Not one of my worst, but not one of the best, either.

You know I hate
To see you hurt,
But if you don't leave now
It's gonna get worse.

I try not to hurt you
But I just can't stop.
Look for someone else, babe.
You deserve what I'm not.

You deserve better 'cause I'm not enough.
You deserve better.  You should give me up.
One thing that's true and will always be
Is the fact that you deserve better than me.

"You stole my heart,"
You told me way back,
But I might not have the guts
To give it back.

You better get going
And leave while you can.
I'll just keep breaking your heart.
I'm not your kind of man.

You're the sweet and generous kind.
I'm not the best kind of guy you can find.
You deserve better than I'll ever be.
I'm warning you now.  You deserve better than me.

You'll wake up
One bright, sunny morning.
You'll find that I've gone
Without even a warning.

I know it's with me
That you want to live
But you deserve better
Than all I can give.

Don't think that I don't even care at all.
That's why I asked you to leave and prevent your fall.
You're the nicest girl and as sweet as can be.
So find someone else.  You deserve better than me.
