Better Man Lyrics

Always trying to be a better man

I thought that we were good

I know it wasn't perfect

But love is work and if you wait it out

I promise it'd be worth it

That's how I was thinkin' hopin'

Never thought it could be broken

'Til you saw the door and opened it

And closed it now I'm throwin' shit

Upset about it

I cannot rest without it

I must confess I am a mess

I tend to stress about it

I'm surrounded with memories

Tangled in this guilty conscience

Drinkin' all this filthy nonsense

Even though I'm buzzin' ima still be honest

I was wrong

I didn't wanna lose you

I should've let you go

Instead of coming back to woo you

Confuse you

Like it was cool for me to have you when I wanted you

Then leave all alone and on your own until I'm calling you

I know it hurt

I know you needed better

I know you hated it

'Cause you could always see forever

And all I gave you was this feeling like it would be never

Damn

I can't help it I can be selfish

Something I've always dealt with

Dealing with someone else and commitment

I'm feeling helpless

I felt it and tried to bury it

Now a burden I carry it

Certain that I was meant to be alone

That's some scary shit

Holdin' on way after I know that it's goin' nowhere

I prolly should let her know

But I really don't wanna go there

I'd rather just stick it out

Maybe lie to myself

And then pretend that in a couple months

It might turn back around

That way nobody gets hurt

And she thinks it's workin' I'm certain

But then behind the curtian

I be strugglin' with this burden

It's murder it's killing me quietly

Feel it burnin' inside of me

I close my eyes to get away

And in that moment I am free

But that's temporary relief

It's guaranteed I'll be dippin'

If she's talkin' 'bout marrying me

Apparently it's the thought of forever that's scaring me

Geeze

So I guess maybe I'll run away

Dodgin' bullets if he pull it

Cupid never puts that gun away

No other way

Battled time but she doesn't wait

So I guess it wasn't fate

Strugglin' with love and hate

Nothing tastes worse than the bitterness

Swallow my pride and I hide

Acting like I don't give a shit

But the truth is I did

More than you will ever know

Yeah
