I'm not the sharpest sharp of glass From this broken window But there's a few things that I've learned That you might want to know That misery is a talent you can hone And sorrow is a product we call can't wait to own But I'm just trying to be A Better Man Flesh and blood cover the statues on the street They'll treat you like a friend But they stare at you like fresh meat And the porcelain teeth that smile in your face Can't wait for you to fall So they can take your place And I'm just trying to be A Better Man Yeah I'm just trying to be A Better Man Lie and cheat your friends While you still have time And downplay the drama while You figure out a clever rhyme And smile in a semi-sympathetic tone Can't appreciate good friends until you find You're all alone But I'm just trying to be A Better Man Yeah I'm just trying to be A Better Man
