Better Man - Leon Bridges

You and I had something special, baby Something that you only see on movie screens I know lately, I've been missing you like crazy Oh, why, why'd you let me in just to let me go? Most guys will get high when feeling low But I don't think that that's the way to go Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me How do you lose the one you love? After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough You think you know, but you never can How do you lose your only plan? Well darling, just give me one more chance And I'll give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man I felt things when we were naked I saw an angel but they've hidden their wings I know, everyone's got that special baby Oh, why, now I only see you in my dreams Most guys will get high when feeling low But I don't think that that's the way to go Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me How do you lose the one you love? After giving it all, you gave it up Maybe my love wasn't enough You think you know, but you never can How do you lose your only plan? Well darling, just give me one more chance And I'll give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man I've been up and I've been down Think that's just what love's about You took the words right out my mouth If you feel it, say it now It's been a while but I've figured it out But ain't that just what love's about? You took the words right out my mouth But if you feel it, say it now How do you lose the one you love? (how do you lose?) After giving it all, you gave it up And maybe my love wasn't enough You think you know, but you never can And how do you lose your only plan? Well darling, just give me one more chance And I'll give you everything I have I'll try to be a better man

I find it hard to talk to myself I was afraid to ask for help But I know just how it feels The pain reminds me it was real I find it hard to figure it out I gave it my all, without a doubt I made my mind up, to rise up and then I made my mind up, to be a better man A better man No use crying about the past There's no way to take it back Some loose ends they don't get tied I had to learn to change my mind Even when the night gets dark (ooh) I look up and count the stars (ooh) I find it hard to figure it out I gave it my all without a doubt I made my mind up, to rise up and then I made my mind up, to be a better man A better man (oh, oh) A better man (oh, oh) A better man A better man I find it hard to figure it out I gave it my all without a doubt

The hardest thing I'll ever do Is to walk away still loving you I'd give anything if you loved me But somethings just ain't meant to be Can't say it's all been time lost In the Long Run, I'll be a Better Man, Better Off Gonna find my pride, self esteem, get on with my life Follow my dreams, aint' lookin back Learn from my mistakes, once I'm past this heartache I know when the hurting stops, I'll Be a Better Man, Better Off I know Rome wasn't built in a day And there's alot of good memories in my way If I had it to do over again I wouldn't change a thing, except for the end Gonna be some pain, gotta pay the cost But in the long run, I'll be a Better Man, Better Off Gonna find my pride, self esteem, get on with my life Follow my dreams, aint' lookin back Learn from my mistakes, once I'm past this heartache I know when the hurting stops, I'll Be a Better Man, Better Off I'm gonna learn from my mistakes Once I'm past the heartache I know when the hurting stops A Better Man A whole lot better off

Hungry is my state of mind Bad love left me high and dry World is getting hotter Lead me to the water You know I need some Ah ah would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be Darkness creeping late at night Knows just how to talk to me when I'm tired Feeding on my weakness Planted in the season when I was so young Would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be I won't let the devil get over But when the water's boiled up and the pot starts to burn You start to understand the man Oooh, yeah
