Another lonely Friday night at my local bar
Where the memories are never far
I know that sittin' here is just a waste of time
I was a better man when you were mine
So many times before I was about to call
About a dial away and admit it all
That it was out of guilt that I let you go
But I just wanted you to know
I still look at the pictures of us as one
Before I fall asleep just before I'm gone
Take my hand and look into my eyes
I've found the courage to apologize
And I just admit that I am tired of tryin'
I was a better man when you were mine
We can meet our demons down the road
We better hurry up, 'cause we're growin' old
Life is too short and we're runnin' out of time
And I was a better man when you were mine
I know that you are starin' at the same ol' stars
You could be sitting in one of those passing cars
I know I should get up and get in touch today
And let you know what I need to say
That I still catch myself with a smilin' face
Every time I think about those days
Take my hand and look into my eyes
I've found the courage to apologize
And I just admit that I am tired of tryin'
I was a better man when you were mine
We can meet our demons down the road
We better hurry up, 'cause we're growin' old
Life is too short and we're runnin' out of time
And I was a better man when you were mine
I never knew that a man could love so hard
Until the moment I fell apart
And though I see the road leading back to you
There is nothing more that I can do
Can I take your hand and look into your eyes?
Find the courage to apologize
And admit that I am tired of tryin'
And tell you I'm a better man when you are mine
We can meet our demons down the road
We better hurry up, 'cause we're growin' old
Life is too short and we're runnin' out of time
I was a better man when you were mine
And I was a better man when you were mine
