A Better Man Lyrics

Here I am in the place we started out

By the Southmere Lake

Where we made friends, shared hopes and dreams, and laughed aloud

Miles away from our suburban chains; we'd both ran away

Seekin' somethin' else

Trying to change

You're not here with me now

Still, thank you all the same

'Cause darlin', you made me look at myself

And want to be a better man

You might think, why am I in so much pain?

When I never shed a tear before today

I guess I believed that our love was strong

And could conquer anything that got in our way

But I was too late; too fucked up by the past to tell you that

And I made a mistake

Now everything's clear

And you no longer feel the same

Still darlin', you made me look at myself

And want to be a better man

Oh, I thought that were content, and our future was bright

How foolish I am

Now all is unknown, but I've got my faith

And all the lessons learned

That time won't erase, oh

But I'll be missing your face

I made a mistake

But I stayed, and I tried so hard to change

I took all your pain

Was the fortune-teller right?

Did she tell you you'd no longer feel the same?

Well darlin', you made me look at myself

And want to be a better man

So many tears and so much time have gone to waste

Darlin', you made me look at myself

And because of your lovin', now I am

I am

And baby, now I believe in myself

Maybe someday I'll fall in love again

Someday, someday…

But I'll still be missing your face…
