Paroles de Better man

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
