Need To Get By

Song I wrote a couple days ago

Lyrics
I Lay Low, I fly high
Im not awaiting no particular life

But If I sleep late, Miss dawn
If she was waiting, now im sure that shes gone

I Aint superstitious I'm a practical man
Now until forever I make due how I can
Don't proclaim to know I just try to Understand
If you see me leaning won't you give me a hand?
Keep It together when the worse ain't getting better
Its a need to find a way to get by

She's No Good, I'm too bad
No use in crying over love you ain't had

But if you're too quick, too late
She picked your porridge but she made a mistake

Miss Interpretation reprimands my offense
Walked into a room after the service commence
Tried to take the lead but she knew my every step
When It came to rescue, didn't want my defense

Keep it together when the worse ain't getting better
its a need to find a way to get by
