[Paroles de "A better man"]

[Couplet 1]
Look at all these golden years
What did they bring to me?
Now all the things I thought I wanted don't mean a thing to me
I see the birds upon the wires, they won't sing to me
I thought the sun would never fade
When I was young, oh I knew everything

[Refrain]
I could have been a better man
Could have been the one for you
Now what is done may well be done
But still I know it's true
There could never be a man to feel love for you
Like I did, like I do

[Couplet 2]
Every dream I ever had seems so distant now
I know that every second chance has lead me here somehow
To these streets I used to know
It was so different then
Up the steps and to your door, and I remember when
I thought the sun would never fade
When I was young, oh I knew everything
[Refrain]
I could have been a better man
Could have been the one for you
Now what is done may well be done
But still I know it's true
There could never be a man to feel love for you
Like I did, like I do

[Outro]
Oh, let me be a better man
I could still be the one for you
And if you take me as I am, just let me show to you
There could never be a man to feel love for you
Like I will, like I do
There could never be a man to feel love for you
Like I will, like I do
