Don't wanna make you angry Don't wanna make you sad Cause it's not healthy To feel this bad There's truth when I'm lyin' But it's hard to see I'm just afraid of You leavin' me I promise I'll be better A better man this time around I promise I'll be better A better man this time around I don't know where it came from This sense of pride Been keeping me from Lettin' you inside Oh, I wish I had your patience It's clear to see How much I need you But you don't need me I promise I'll be better A better man this time around I know I can be better A better man this time around Oh, this time around These nights of endless drinking Drownin' my sorrow and comin' up dry I know you're waitin' for me To come around to the other side I know I can be better I swear I can be better I promise I'll be better A better man this time around I promise I'll be better A better man this time around I know I can be better A better man this time around I promise I'll be better This time around Oh, this time around This time around This time around
