A Better Man (lyrics)

Just trying to find my way in the dark

Just trying to mend this broken heart

Just trying to reach out to where you are

Just trying trying to bring together what’s been ripped to shreds

Caught like the traps I’ve set for myself in my head

Don’t have me so easily confused with a better man

Don’t have me so easily confused with a better man

Don’t have me so easily confused with a better man

‘Cause that’s not who I am

Just trying to leave behind a past that won’t let go

Just trying to not worry about all the things that I still don’t know

Just trying to keep this wreck of a sail-boat afloat

Just trying to keep you at arms length while I’m holding you tight

‘Cause you seem to be all that can make me still feel alright

Don’t have me so easily confused with a better man

Don’t have me so easily confused with a better man

Don’t have me so easily confused with a better man

‘Cause that’s not who I am

But you make me want to be

You make me want to be

You make me want to be

So much better than I am

But you make me want to be

You make me want to be

You make me want to be

So much better than I am

Just trying to balance out who I was and who I want to be

Just trying to convince myself that I still want to breathe

Just trying to grasp a hand in the dark and maybe feel something

And you tell me in the quiet that perfect love casts out all fear

And in your eyes I catch a glimpse of open arms

that span the universe yet still reach down and hold me here
