“A Man Better Than Me”

I reckon it’s not normal how I’m feeling
But I’ve been a fool too many times
To pay any mind to the love
that I could’ve given

More stubborn than a garden weed
Sooner I’d die on this hill of misdeeds
than bruise this fragile pride of mine

Choking up over life’s great speed
I am my own worst enemy
God take this cold heart away from me

I only love when it’s said and over
Only kind behind your shoulder
You deserve a man better than me

Pull over on 172
to pen my problems
in ink so blue
People ought to think that I
am outright bothered

I don’t need to be the best for you
I just hate to keep on hurting you
You deserve a man better than me

Never thought I could be ruined
by my own spiteful doing
but here I sit with a love
too hard to find

Hate is taught so who’s my teacher
Every sinner’s now a preacher
Why am I the only bad man left behind?

I long to hear your voice again
I know that we’re not really friends
But I can’t live to live here alone

Half moon and regrets
A some odd feeling I won’t forget
You deserve a man better than me
I want to be a man better than me
