“Do Better” is a lamentful R&B track that sees Chris and Brandy assess their relationships. In the track, they come to terms with the dissolution of their relationship, ultimately wanting to take their own lives to stop the pain they’re feeling in their lover’s absence.
“Do Better” marks the se...
[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
I don't know why I even try 'cause you don't want this no more
I would rather leave before I hurt you
And I would have died long ago if I ain't have my faith
I see you're startin' to hate me, I see it in your face
My home don't feel like home
Just like my heart is empty
You changed the number on your phone
So when I call, you ain't gotta listen
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
And all your girls think that I ain't shit
And they the same ones lost in the club, them bitches is basic
Now I'm number one that's lost in love, I can't take it
I'm on a knee, you're gonna see a grown man cry, I won't lie
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
I'm startin' to hate me
A little more and more each day
I don't know me
It's like I can't get out of my own way
And you don't love me
You don't love me
If I knew better
I would do better
[Verse 2: Brandy]
Lookin' at the names on your list and I can't find me
I'm deep underwater, are you gon' let me drown?
I see you're happy now, you're the life of the party, actin' out
Ain't seen you in months, you ain't call me once
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
And all your boys say that I ain't shit
And they the same ones lost in the club, them niggas is basic
Yeah, and I'm the one who lost in love and I can't take it
I'm on my knees, don't you hate to see me cry? I won't lie
[Chorus: Chris Brown & Brandy, Brandy, Chris Brown]
I'm startin' to hate me (Ayy)
A little more and more each day
I don't know me
It's like I can't get out of my own way
And you don't love me
You don't love me (Oh)
If I knew better, yeah-yeah
I would do better, better
[Bridge: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & Brandy, Brandy]
Thinkin' 'bout you and I, thinkin' 'bout you and I
My heart's beatin' in slow motion, knowin' that it's over
Thoughts got me thinkin' 'bout suicide, baby, this is do or die
When you told me it's over, ain't no point in bein' sober
All I wanna do is fade away, fade away
I hope that God will forgive me
'Cause I know that you ain't gon' miss me
Baby girl, I won't try to say my goodbyes
You ain't gotta shed a tear for me
Baby girl, don't cry
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & Brandy, Brandy]
I'm startin' to hate me
A little more and more each day
I don't know me
It's like I can't get out of my own way
And you don't love me (Oh-oh)
You don't love me (Oh-oh)
If I knew better
I would do better
[Outro: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & Brandy, Brandy]
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
I would do better
