You always knew, how to make me play the fool
Never really questioned it was real
Now I'm not sure so young that I can't deal with the guilt
Of telling you how I really feel

I don't wanna be the better man
I don't wanna be the better man

You cut me deep, when you let me believe
That all of my wounds from you would heal
But when you left, I discovered something true
Something that I always kept concealed

I don't wanna be the better man
Wrestling every day with, not knowing if you
Love me or him
I don't wanna be the better man
Taking your troubles on again, just filling my life up with
Struggle and pain
Just filling my life up with
Struggle and pain

Older and wiser, you've been round the block
And now you're coming home like pretend
You never know, how good you have I till it's gone
Or how bad it was until it ends

I don't wanna be the better man
Wrestling every day with, not knowing if you
Love me or him

I don't wanna be the better man
Taking your troubles on again, just filling my life up with
Struggle and pain
Just filling my life up with
Struggle

Cause you're gonna have your way, with my heart
You're gonna help yourself to my needs
Every time you call, gonna drop it all

I don't wanna be the better man
I don't wanna be the better man
I don't wanna be the better man
I don't wanna be the better man
