HELLYEAH - Better Man lyrics

I know my enemy and I can't forget his name
Distant memories of a man
That just couldn't change
And though I've tried to set aside
I still carry them today
When I look into the mirror I
Can still see his face oh lord

Don't want to be like my father
I deserved a better man
A bigger man to help me down my road
I cried a tear for my mother
She deserved a better man a stronger man
To embrace her soul ruined by a weaker man
A shallow man the one who broke our home
Though I was a young boy
I can still remember everything
All the booze led to fights and abuse
And I lived through it every day
And though I try to heal inside
My heart is just a vault for pain
I tried to snuff the candle
But, I've been burnt by the flame
It's too late

Don't want to be like my father
I deserved a better man
A bigger man to help me down my road
I cried a tear for of my mother
She deserved a better man a stronger man
To embrace her soul ruined by a weaker man
A shallow man the one who broke our home

Saw him twenty years later in a
Store buyin' a jug of wine
He said "hey there boy I'm living nearby
We could catch up with a joint
And a bottle or two"
I said "I'm sorry dad, don't
Wanna end up being you, no"
Don't want to be like my father
I cried a tear for my mother
She deserved a better man a stronger man
To embrace her soul ruined by a weaker man
A shallow man the one who broke our home
