A Better Man

Let's face the truth, the deed is done 
Look at me now babe, and say I'm still the one 
Just who are we trying to defend 
A burnt-out building should be condemned 

Baby, I don't even know you anymore, do I? 

Don't look forlorn, don't look so sad 
Deep down you know I was always bad 
You say, "I don't know even know you anymore (baby) 
I don't even know if I'm sure what I want" 

Maybe a better man could understand 
Maybe a better man could be your friend 
Maybe a better man who would hold you 
Like I'll never really hold you 
Maybe he could love you so that baby, I may be a better man 

Yes I know, things have changed 
Once we were lovers, now we ain't even friends 
And maybe love, don't ask me why, 
Is something for which I ain't qualified 
You say, "I can't even see the boy you were (baby) 
And I don't think it's good to even be here anymore" 

Maybe a better man could understand 
Maybe a better man could be your friend 
Maybe a better man could hold you like I'll never really hold you 
Maybe he could love you so that baby, I may be a better man 

Maybe a better man could be your friend 
Maybe a better man could understand 
Maybe a better man wouldn't leave you 
Wouldn't hurt you and deceive you 
Wouldn't leave you to believe that someday he may be a better man 

Would be your friend 
And understand so that you'd never need again 
A better man 
A better man 
A better man
