Better Man - Hellyeah

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 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
