Better Man Lyrics

Everywhere we go

People recognize my face

They all think they know me

From my time up on the stage

Everyday I try to be the man they think they see

And I hope you recognize that man in me

So when the lights they all stop shining

And the camera's out of view

Always know that I'll be coming home to you

Oh and when the music's faded

And the curtain call is through

I'm gonna be an even better man for you

I get paid to talk about

The ways that I've been changed

And when my kids hear 'bout those things

I pray they don't sound strained

May they never see me as an actor in a play

But as a man who's better than they say

So when the credits roll

And they carry me away

The crowd has all gone home

Only darkness fills the stage

And all that's left of me are just the fading memories

Just know I gave the very best of me
