I said so long to half a bottle
Of that Black Label strong,
I spent too many hours playing
That flats heart-break song

I've been sinking in this old couch
Where we used to lie,
I've been staring at the pictures on the wall
From early July

I've been sitting in self pity
Fading away,
I've been talking to myself
It's driving me crazy
Yea change is gonna come,
But until that day
I gotta pick my self up
and just find my way

Oh yea
I,
I can be a better man
I don't need love,
I'll do what I've done
But do it as a better man

Oh you,
Yea I do, I wish the best for you
But the pieces you broke
Are stronger then you know
and are making me a better man
Oh, a better man

Like an old broken record
you love 'til it hurts
And sometimes you don't know
How much you give, how much you're worth
and you try everything you can
In the end it don't work
You're left kicking up the dust,
and cursing the dirt

Like a ship without a sail
Lost out at sea
But devine intervention
Strikes you when you need it
it's always been there
Buts it's never been free
Yeah, its taken some time
But now I can see that

I,
I can be a better man
I don't need love,
I'll do what I've done
But do it as a better man

Oh you,
Yea I do, I wish the best for you
But the pieces you broke
Are stronger then you know
and are making me a better man
Oh, a better man

Oh,

Yeah I,
I can be a better man
I don't need love,
I'll do what I've done
But do it as a better man

Oh you,
Yea I do, I wish the best for you
But the pieces you broke
Are stronger then you know
and are making me a better man
Oh, a better man
