hellyeah - better man lyrics
“better man”
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
