Better Man
Rains Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the wrong day for the miracle
It's the wrong day for me to start believing
I walk around with my head held high
But inside I'm barely breathing
Wrong day for a change of heart
It's wrong day for me to stop the bleeding
See this world through my bloodshot eyes
But I can't escape these feelings

Now it's time for me to be a
Better man, better man today
Can we bury these, bury these mistakes
I want to try and find, to try and find a way
To forget myself and what I had - betray

If I back and I start again
Would I make the same mistakes
Or would I let all of my demons in
And open up to escape what's real
Look through my memories
See everything I've been hiding
You'll see, that war in me is
One thing I can't stop fighting

Now it's time for me to be a
Better man, better man today
Can we bury these, bury these mistakes
I want to try and find, to try and find a way
To forget myself and what I had - betray

All these things are taken from me
I can't forget all these memories

Now it's time for me to be a
Better man, better man today
Can we bury these, bury these mistakes
I want to try and find, to try and find a way
To forget myself and what I had - betray

Better man, better man today
Can we bury these, bury these mistakes




I want to try and find, to try and find a way
To forget myself and what I had - betray
