Better Man Lyrics

Grabbed your shoes

Pulled on your shirt

As you rolled out of bed

Believing if you left

You'd be the better man

And as you pulled away from

The middle of the drive

You swore upon the Mother

You would feel alive

But now that's just a memory

Three years and six months gone

And every day her face still finds you

And longs to call you home

And in your dreams you turn around

When you get to Ballycrow

But you wake to the lights of

The city down below

And the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone

Yeah the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone

The clock sounds loud

You raise your head

Toward your bedside table

And you bleed into another day

You fight to still feel able

You're in a haze a clouded world

Passing through fluorescent halls

That dreamed you dreamed up long ago

Steals your breath inside its walls

By noon you're lost and then you're found

In the golden fields of sun

And you take her hand and walk back down

The road you might have done

And in your dreams you turn around when

You get to Ballycrow

But you wake to the lights of

The city down below

And the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone

Yeah the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone

So you grab your shoes

Pull on your shirt

And leave that empty bed

And travel that familiar road

Heading home a better man

But you find she's gone

She's found her wings

Like a feather on the wind

Found some new road to travel down

Letting go of could have been

And in your dreams you turn around when

You get to Ballycrow

But you wake to the lights of

The city down below

And the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone

Yeah the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone

Yeah the better man who thought he won

Now feels all alone
