Better Man

Sometimes I long for a word
That makes me a better man
I don’t belong in a world
Where darkness has the upper hand
I know I got to be
Everything you asked of me
There’s something in the air
While your silence sounds a thousand cries from the deepest place in your heart

I’m sorry I’ve been away
Much longer than we planned
You know I won’t wanna stay
In the light of a dying land
You can feel it when you do it right
Every fault is out of sight
There’s a flaw in our design
There’s a sadness that is out of time with the beating pulse of your heart
And I don’t even want to try
To understand the lengths I’d go to deceive myself again
And if I could hold you through the night
I would count the reasons why
I may never be your better man
I know I got to be
Everything you asked of me
There’s something in the air
While your silence sounds a thousand cries from the deepest place in your heart
