Be a Better Man

I'm trying to be a better man
I want to show you who I really am
I need your help to grow, please give me your hand
You make me want to change and be a better man

I never cared about love, thought sex was the only thing that mattered
Leaving one girl in tears, to have the next in laughter
I was playing girls and bed hopping
I know you'll judge me, because these things aren't said often

I would flirt with every female in the streets
You're wondering why I'm putting these details on this sheet
I want you to know the truth and see my growth
I hope you'll see why we should be close

I thought my mum not being around gave me a reason
Using girls as a bandage who didn't understand the way I was bleeding
Then you came along and something felt different
It's like you're the puzzle piece that was missing

I want to start a new chapter and create our story
I just hope my past doesn't go before me
I'm not who i used to be, so let me be your happiness
I want to paint the picture with you, not capture it

I'm trying to be a better man
It's not about who I was, but who I am
I need your help to grow, please give me your hand
You make me want to change and be a better man
