Better Man

Well life to me is not the same to you No I'm not proud of everything I've done, the things I've put you through But the only thing I've ever known to get me by Is killing myself slowly, just fighting to survive But you're turning me into someone new You got me doing things I never thought I'd do And when I see your face from this hollow cage of mine There's a brief stream of light, where I start to see what it means to be alive So come on in dear Let's burn away this hell Because with you by my side I'm bigger than myself I know I'm not The easiest to love But if you take my hand I think that we Can kill the man that I can't get rid of And I know I owe a debt that I cannot repay You stood there watching me as hours turned to days I know I robbed you of your youth, traded off mine Excused it all by hiding behind lies And I could never ask you to carry such a weight The burden of my mind should not decide your fate But you saw something I never knew that I had inside So you threw yourself down from a cliff, just to teach me to climb So come on in dear Let's burn away this hell Because with you by my side I'm bigger than myself And I know I'm not The easiest to love But if you take my hand I think that we Can kill the man that I can't get rid of And I've never been the kind to ask for help I'd rather take my life and burn it down all by myself But now I know sometimes your pride ain't worth the burdens that you've held And it's not about you anymore when you hurt someone else So come on in dear Let's burn away this hell Because with you by my side I'm bigger than myself And I know I'm not The easiest to love But won't you take my hand and help me be The better man that I know I can become
