Better Man For You

[Verse 1]

Left my boots on your front porch

Just to feel like I still live there

Coffee cup with your lipstick

Staring back like a dare

You said

“Love is more than late nights

More than promises I never keep”

Now I’m learning how to listen

Instead of talking you to sleep

[Chorus]

I’m trying to be a better man for you

Less talking

More follow-through

Fixing every little crack I put you through (yeah)

If it takes my whole life

I’ll see it through

I’m trying to be a better man

A better man for you

[Verse 2]

I’ve been writing down my reasons

Why I shut down

Why I run

Calling back my old demons

Telling each and every one

You deserve a steady heartbeat

Not a fire that fades by noon

So I’m showing up on time now

And I’m staying in the room

[Chorus]

I’m trying to be a better man for you

Less talking

More follow-through

Fixing every little crack I put you through (oh)

If it takes my whole life

I’ll see it through

I’m trying to be a better man

A better man for you

[Bridge]

I can’t rewind the words I wasted

But I can hold you as you heal

Take your hand and walk the distance

Till my actions match my feel

If grace is what you’re giving

Then this is what I’ll do

I’ll spend my days proving

My best starts with you

[Chorus]

I’m trying to be a better man for you

Less talking

More follow-through

Fixing every little crack I put you through

If it takes my whole life

I’ll see it through (yeah)

I’m trying to be a better man

I’m learning day by day what love can do

I’m trying to be a better man

A better man for you
