Bein' here without you
Is something i can't stand
Cuz everything about you
Causes me a broken man
Like a legend lost together
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, now i see
Realizing that you're deep inside of me...

(chorous)
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'll 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

So, mother mary help me
Help me make it through
To conquer this addiction
The addiction that is you
It'll be easier if baby
You'd come in my arms tonight
Knowing you're out there
I will be facing fire

(chorous)
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'll 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
Cuz i want to be with you
Just to be a better man
Tell me what i gotta be
So that you'll come back to me...yeah!

Now i've opened up my eyes
I was blind, now i see
Realizing that you're deep inside of me...

(chorous)
Lord, 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'll do anything
For the love you bring
Lord knows what i'd 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 (4x)
