Better Man by Zach Vinson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did I do some good today
Did I try my best to give you grace
Or at least the space to figure out
What it means to breathe beneath your skin?

Or did I do my worst today
Did I raise my voice and spit my rage?
Did I build the cage that locked you up
Or did I just let you in?

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re tired of hearing of the things that I think to be true
It’s time I admit that I’ve no clue

[Chorus]
I don’t know what you envisioned 
Please tell me what you dreamed
I never learned to pretend
I’ll be a better man than I’ll be
I don’t know why I’m angry
Show me what I missed
Because I don’t know why I’m here
Or how to be a better man
A better man than this
[Verse 2]
What will it take to jump the track
To chart a new course, turn my back
To learn to embrace the lack of my own strength
And yet be born anew?

See, I was taught that Jesus saves
With his fingers my heart he’d rearrange
And there are days that change is all I know
But most days that’s not true

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of talking about all the things I think are true
It’s time I admit that I’ve no clue

[Bridge]
Stick around, stick around for more of the same
Stick around, will you stick around?
I don’t know, I don’t know…

[Chorus]
...what you envisioned
Or what you dreamed
Or how to pretend
I’ll be a better man than I’ll be
I don’t know why I’m angry
Show me what I missed
Because I don’t know why I’m here
Or how to be a better man
I don’t think I can fake this 
I don’t know who you are
Or where we’re going, 
Or how we ever got this far
I don’t know why I’m angry 
Please show me what I missed
Because I don’t know why I’m here
Or how to be a better man
A better man than this
