A Better Man

I blame myself

'Cause I thought there was something wrong with me

I thought it would be easy

Just holding on

And now I see

That there's no one close to me

Yeah, that's not how it's supposed to be

I made them run

Watch me as I handmake my own stone wall

There's a reason I won't ever let you in

Why they never mean what they say?

Told me they'd come back here someday

Like my love was not enough for them to stay

Never any luck when I try

Everyone's so good at goodbyes

But it's all I've ever known, to walk away

So yeah, I'm gonna leave you and learn how to stand

But then I'm gonna come back a better man

I taught myself that no one could love me

And it wouldn't be easy

This road I'm on

And now I'm gone

My head's hanging low again

But God, I could use a friend

I didn't trust no one

You better calm down, yeah, Mr. Wrecking Ball

There's a reason I won't ever let you in

Why they never mean what they say?

Told me they'd come back here someday

Like my love was not enough for them to stay

Never any luck when I try

Everyone's so good at goodbyes

And it's all I've ever known, to walk away

So yeah, I'm gonna leave you and learn how to stand

But then I'm gonna come back a better man

I've never gone this far before

For something that I'm looking for

And I didn't ask for your help

While I continue to find myself

I could've told you

The road makes fools of us all

Why they never mean what they say?

Told me they'd come back here someday

Like my love was not enough for them to stay

Never any luck when I try

Everyone's so good at goodbyes

But it's all I've ever known, to walk away

Why they never mean what they say?

Told me they'd come back here someday

Like my love was not enough for them to stay

Never any luck when I try

Everyone's so good at goodbyes

But it's all I've ever known, to walk away

So yeah, I'm gonna leave you and learn how to stand

But then I'm gonna come back a better man
