[Verse 1]
I wash my hands in the sink
Try to look like I don’t sink
Smile for the ones I love
While I’m split inside
Got a clean shirt, clean face
Dirty thoughts in my brain
I say “I’m fine” out loud
But I feel that chain
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep one hand on the door
One foot in the fire
I hear my name in the dark
And I don’t know why
If I want to be whole
Why do I lean so hard?
I’m chasing a line
That keeps tearing me apart
[Chorus]
I wanna be a good man
(hold on)
I wanna be a good man
But the beast knows my name
I’m split in two
I’m split in two
And I hate what I crave
[Verse 2]
Late night, same old room
Same old lie in my mouth
I swear I’m done this time
Then I circle back around
Every promise I made
Got a crack in the seal
Every time I reach for peace
Something else feels real
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep one hand on the door
One foot in the fire
I hear my name in the dark
And I don’t know why
If I want to be whole
Why do I lean so hard?
I’m chasing a line
That keeps tearing me apart
[Chorus]
I wanna be a good man
(hold on)
I wanna be a good man
But the beast knows my name
I’m split in two
I’m split in two
And I hate what I crave
[Bridge]
If you see me fall
Don’t call me lost
I’m still in here
Under all this cost
Take this hurt from my throat
Take this weight from my chest
I’m not proud of the war
But I’m not done yet
[Chorus]
I wanna be a good man
(hold on)
I wanna be a good man
But the beast knows my name
I’m split in two
I’m split in two
And I hate what I crave
[Outro]
I’m split in two
I’m split in two
I wanna be a good man
I wanna be a good man
