Jason Lenyer Buchanan - I'm Not as Good

I'm not as good as you think I am
Deep inside I'm just a broken man
Every time you try to say how proud you are
I know the truth is just too hard

I'm not as kind as you think I am
Not sounding mean don't mean I give a damn
Just like what the Bible says
A quiet fool looks wise these days

I'm a man who left his kids
No turning back, I made the best
Filled the ache inside my heart
While their whole world would fall apart

I'm a man who lives a lie
The grave is full for when I die
Doin' the best with what I can
I'm not as good as you think I am

There's no blueprint for how a man should be
At some point, the blame falls on me
No matter how far I run away
The truth is just as plain as day

I'm a man who left his kids
No turning back, I made the best
Filled the ache inside my heart
While their whole world would fall apart

I'm a man who lives a lie
The grave is full for when I die
Doin' the best with what I can
I'm not as good as you think I am

Blame is a marriage of glass walls and stones
No one is ever at home
Shame is a blanket that won't keep you warm
From a truth that is heartless and cold

I'm not the man I used to be
This brokenness is still a part of me
Ten years on, the world has changed
But some things still remain the same

I'm a man who left his kids
No turning back, I made the best
Filled the ache inside my heart
While their whole world would fall apart

I'm a man who lives a lie
The grave is full for when I die
Doin' the best with what I can
I'm not as good as you think I am
