Annie Hendrix - Better Man

I've forgotten how to speak again
I'm just tongue-tied and sticking to my seat
I still struggle, though the past has fallen far behind me
The dust collecting on my sleeve serves as a cruel reminder
I was trapped in stone, a hundred years or so
And somehow learned to speak

Before I disappoint you
Take a careful look at me
I've walked a crooked path
It's been a long and harrowing journey
I'm doing everything I can
To be a better man

I've forgotten how to sleep again
I just can't face another wicked dream
I'm still haunted, though the past has fallen far behind me
The shadows cast against the wall serve as a cruel reminder
I've seen kindred souls earn an early grave
And I've kissed death on the cheek

Before I disappoint you
Take a careful look at me
I've walked a crooked path
It's been a long and harrowing journey
I'm doing everything I can
To be a better man

I've forgotten how to be a friend
I'm just so busy lookin after me
I'm still broken, though the past has fallen far behind me
Your betrayed and bitter words served as a cruel reminder
I was left alone to tame my troubled heart
And I rocked myself to sleep

Before I disappoint you
Take a careful look at me
I've walked a crooked path
It's been a long and harrowing journey
I'm doing everything I can
To be a better man
To be a better man
