A Better Man Lyrics

I wish you could see me now

I hope that I make you proud

I wish you could see me now

I hope I make you proud

I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man

I've struggled with these words for more than 13 years

They've been spinning around my head but I could never get them out

The things I've seen, the sounds I've heard, will haunt the rest of my days

You always taught me life was so short

Who would have known that you were talking about your own?

Someone take away my pain

I just want to see you again

I wish you could see me now

I hope I make you proud

I had to grow up so fast

I cannot forgive the past

Death took my innocence when I was just a kid

I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man

What kind of world is this, to take a father from his sons when they were still so young?

To take a lover, take a brother, leaving nothing but a memory

I don't want to believe

No god

No justice

Just pain

And misery

What a thing to teach

You ask why I have no faith in this wretched place

Someone take away my pain

I just want to see you again

You've missed so much

I just wish I could show you what I have become

I wish you could see me now

I hope I make you proud

I had to grow up so fast

I cannot forgive the past

Death took my innocence when I was just a kid

I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man

Your silence

It deafened me

Your presence is all I need

Someone take away my pain

I just want to see you again

I wish you could see me now

(Wish you could see me now)

I hope that I make you proud

(I hope I make you proud)

Death took my innocence when I was just a kid

I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
