Verse 1]
I need you in my life, baby girl
I want you in my world, baby girl
I’ve been changin’ day by day
Tryna love you the right way
Tryna be the man you’ve been prayin’ for
[Pre-Chorus]
I made mistakes I can’t take back
Missed your calls, yeah, I lost track
But I’m right here now, I ain’t runnin’
Tell me what you need, girl, I’m becoming…
[Chorus]
I wanna be a better man, better than I’ve ever been
Not just a name in your phone, but your closest friend
The kinda guy you can lean on when it all goes wrong
I’ll hold your heart, girl, I’ll stay strong
Yeah, I just wanna be a better man
⸻
[Verse 2]
Been waitin’ on that text all night
Watchin’ your name under that porch light
I’m still hopin’ you’ll give me a sign
Still believin’ we could turn back time
Girl, I meant it every time I said “I’m yours”
[Pre-Chorus]
I broke some trust, yeah, I know that’s true
But no one’s ever meant what I mean to you
So if you ever find your way back home
You won’t be walkin’ this road alone
[Chorus]
I wanna be a better man, better than I used to be
I’ve been writin’ down promises, hopin’ you’ll read
The kinda guy who fights for you, through the highs and lows
I’ll hold you close, never let go
Yeah, I just wanna be a better man
⸻
[Bridge]
No lies, no games, no one else
Just you and me and nothin’ else
If I get one more chance, girl, I’ll stand
And show you I’m your better man
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I wanna be a better man, not just a memory
The kind you trust when the storm hits Tennessee
I’ll give you love that won’t back down
I’ll still be there when the sun goes down
Yeah, I just wanna be… your better man
