Better Man
Hellyeah
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
