Better Man

Another lonely Friday night at my local bar

Where the memories are never far

I  know that sitting here is just a waste of time

I was a better man when you were mine

So many times before, I was about to call

About to dial away and admit it all

That it was out of guilt that I let you go

But I just wanted you to know

I still look at the pictures of us as one

Before I fall asleep, just before I'm gone

Take my hand and look into my eyes

I found the courage to apologize

And I just admit that I am tired of trying

I was a better man when you were mine

We can be redeemers down the road

We better hurry up 'cause we're growing old

Life is too short and we're running out of time

And I was a better man when you were mine

I know that you are staring at the same old stars

You could be sitting in one of those passing cars

I know I should get up and get in touch today

And let you know what I need to say

That I still catch myself with a smiling face

Every time I think about those days

Take my hand and look into my eyes

I found the courage to apologize

And I just admit that I am tired of trying

I was a better man when you were mine

We can be redeemers down the road

We better hurry up 'cause we're growing old

Life is too short and we're running out of time

And I was a better man when you were mine

I never knew that a man could love so hard

Until the moment that I fell apart

And though I see the road leading back to you

There is nothing more that I can do

Than to take your hand and look into your eyes

Find the courage to apologize

And admit that I am tired of trying

And tell you I'm a better man when you are mine

We can be redeemers down the road

We better hurry up 'cause we're growing old

Life is too short and we're running out of time

I was a better man when you were mine

And I was a better man when you were mine
