Hell Yeah - Better Man текст песни

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

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've 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 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 buying a jug of wine

He said, "Hey there, boy

I'm living nearby"



"We could catch up with a joint

And 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, no



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
