Better Man - HELLYEAH

Written by：Tom Maxwell/Greg Tribbett/Chad Gray/Vinnie Paul

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 and

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 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 of 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

Buyin' a jug of wine

He said hey there boy

I'm living nearby

We could catch up with a joint

And share 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

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
