Better Man
by J. Gaines and the Soul Attorneys

(Note from Skye: This is how Doyle would feel about Cordelia after Hero.)


Bein' here without you
Is something I can't stand
'Cause everything about you
Has left me a broken man

I imagine us together
But I see that we're apart
Sometimes I wonder whether
You can mend this broken heart

Now I've opened
Up my eyes
I was blind but now I see
Realizin' that you're
Deep inside of me

Oh Lord knows what I do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
Be a better man
Get down on my knees
Just to make you see
I'd do anything for the
Love you bring
Well I've tried yes I've tried
And I know what I am
But I'm doin' the best that I can
Just to be a better man
Just to be a better man

So Mother Mary help me
Gotta help me make it through
To conquer this addiction
The addiction that is you

But it'd be easier, if baby
You'd come in my arms tonight
Knowin' you are there
I wouldn't face the fight

Oh Lord knows what I do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
Be a better man
Get down on my knees
Just to make you see
I'd do anything for the
Love you bring
Well I've tried yes I've tried
And I know what I am
But I'm doin' the best that I can
Just to be a better man

Just to be a better man
Tell me what I have to do
'Cause I want to be with you
Just to be a better man

Tell me what I've got to do
So that you'd
Come back to me

Now I've opened
Up my eyes
I was blind but now I see
Realizin' you are deep
Inside of me

Oh Lord knows what I'd do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
Be a better man
Get down on my knees
Just to make you see
I'd do anything for the love
You bring

Lord knows what I do
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
Be a better man
Well I've tried yes I've tried
And I know what I am
But I'm doin' the best that I can
Just to be a better man
