I'm Not as Good Lyrics

I'm not as good as you think I am

Deep inside I'm just a broken man

Every time you try to say how proud you are

I know the truth is just too hard

I'm not as kind as you think I am

Not sounding mean don't mean I give a damn

Just like what the Bible says

A quiet fool looks wise these days

I'm a man who left his kids

No turning back, I made the best

Filled the ache inside my heart

While their whole world would fall apart

I'm a man who lives a lie

The grave is full for when I die

Doin' the best with what I can

I'm not as good as you think I am

There's no blueprint for how a man should be

At some point, the blame falls on me

No matter how far I run away

The truth is just as plain as day

I'm a man who left his kids

No turning back, I made the best

Filled the ache inside my heart

While their whole world would fall apart

I'm a man who lives a lie

The grave is full for when I die

Doin' the best with what I can

I'm not as good as you think I am

Blame is a marriage of glass walls and stones

No one is ever at home

Shame is a blanket that won't keep you warm

From a truth that is heartless and cold

I'm not the man I used to be

This brokenness is still a part of me

Ten years on, the world has changed

But some things still remain the same

I'm a man who left his kids

No turning back, I made the best

Filled the ache inside my heart

While their whole world would fall apart

I'm a man who lives a lie

The grave is full for when I die

Doin' the best with what I can

I'm not as good as you think I am
