[Verse 1]
I used to raise my voice
Then hide behind my pride
You’d stand there in the doorway
Tears you never let me wipe
I punched holes in the silence
You patched up every wall
You loved me through the chaos
I barely loved at all
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the way you’re holding on by threads
I hate the man I’ve been inside your head
[Chorus]
I wanna be a better man for you
Not just words spilled in the afternoon
I’ll burn this selfish version to the ground
If it keeps you safe
I’ll tear my demons out
I’m done with almost
Done with “one day soon”
I wanna be a better man for you
[Verse 2]
[Female vocal]
You say you’ll change tomorrow
But I’ve heard that line before
I’m standing in the wreckage
Still sweeping up the floor
[Male vocal]
I’m learning how to listen
Not fix
Defend
Explain
Just let your anger find me
And stay inside the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
[Duet]
You’re tired of my half-built promises
I’m scared but I’m done living like this
[Chorus]
I wanna be a better man for you
Not just storms that you keep walking through
I’ll face the parts of me that always run
Stand in the dark until we see the sun
I’m done with almost
Done with “one day soon”
I wanna be a better man for you
[Bridge]
[Male vocal]
I’ll lay my armor on the floor (on the floor)
Let you see the shame I’m hiding from
[Female vocal]
If you reach for me once more (once more)
I’ll believe that we’re not come undone
[Both]
Let it break now
Let it break now
Let the old me crash and shake out
If there’s anything worth saving
It’s your name I’m still proclaiming (hey!)
[Chorus]
I wanna be a better man for you
Every scar turned into something true
I’ll build a home where you can finally rest
Hold you like you’re holy in my chest
I’m done with almost
Done with “one day soon”
All in forever
If you want me to
I wanna be a better man for you
