Better Man -HELLYEAH
Written by :Tom Maxwell/Greg Tribbett/Chad Gray/Vinnie Paul
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 and
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
