The Better Man

It's 6:30 in the morning,

and I'm wide awake.

Can't get you out of my head.

I'm not sure i want to anyway.

 

I'm just trying to be the better man.

I'd like to steal you away, but now everything is out of my hands.

I can't stand the way i feel right now again.

I hate the way it feels right now in my head.

For once I'd like to be the one who wins,

but I'm just trying to be the better man.

 

Can't get back to sleep

with you on my mind.

Do you even think about me?

You're the only thing on mine.

 

I can't help the way i feel about you.

I just wish you felt the same about me too!

 

So I'm trying to be the better man.

I'd like to steal you away, but now everything is out of my hands.

I can't stand the way i feel right now again.

I hate the way it feels right now in my head.

For once I'd like to be the one who wins,

but I'm just trying to be the better man.

 

There's nothing i can do, and i hate that.

My hands are tied until you come back.

I wish that i could find the words to say,

but every time I'm with you i see you walk away.

I can't give you all of the things that he does,

but i can give you all of me and my love!

 

I'm just trying to be the better man.

I'd like to steal you away, but now everything is out of my hands.

I can't stand the way i feel right now again.

I hate the way it feels right now in my head.

For once I'd like to be the one who wins,

but I'm just trying to be the better man.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's been an emotional day. I wish i had someone to hold on to during this time, but someone else has her heart.

Amidst heartache and facing

Amidst heartache and facing down a certain sense of helplessness in this moment, this is a beautiful, musical piece that is penned with what love and living is about, even in such moments. Very beautiful.
