Hellyeah

Hellyeah - Better Man lyrics

rate me

I know my enemy and I can't forget his name,

Distant memories of a man that just couldn't change,

And though I've tried to set aside,

I still carry them today

When I look into the mirror I can still see his face,

Oh lord

Don't want to be like my father,

I deserved a better man,

A bigger man to help me down my road

I cried a tear for my mother,

She deserved a better man,

A stronger man,

To embrace her soul

Ruined by a weaker man,

A shallow man,

The one who broke our home

Though I was a young boy I can still remember everything,

All the booze led to fights and abuse

And I lived through it every day

And though I try,

To heal inside,

My heart is just a vault for pain,

I tried to snuff the candle,

But I've been burnt by the flame,

It's too late

Don't want to be like my father,

I deserved a better man,

A bigger man to help me down my road

I cried a tear for of my mother,

She deserved a better man,

A stronger man,

To embrace her soul

Ruined by a weaker man,

A shallow man,

The one who broke our home

Saw him twenty years later in a store buyin' a jug of wine

He said "hey there boy I'm living nearby

We could catch up with a joint and share a bottle or two"

I said "I'm sorry dad, don't wanna end up being you...no"

Don't want to be like my father,

I cried a tear for my mother,

She deserved a better man,

A stronger man,

To embrace her soul

Ruined by a weaker man,

A shallow man,

The one who broke our home
