Better Men

Bare to the bone
You strike me bare to the bone
I am not moved by mountains
I am not moved by stones
Bare to the bone
You strike me bare to the bone
I am not moved by mountains
I am not moved by stone

Better men have seen me and moved out of my way
Better men have seen me and stepped out of my way
But you knew me and you saw me
And you were a part of the forming of me
Better men have seen me and stepped out of my way
But you were unaware and you remain

You've struck me to the bone
You've struck me to the bone
And my marrow is still recovering
And my habits are still forming
You cut me to the bone
You helped me form the habits that I know
The way I think
The way I process
The way I interact with me fears

Better men have seen me and they've stepped aside
Better men have seen me and they've left my life
But you were there unaware
And you remain a distant figure unaware

You've cut me to the bone
And you're trying to make it better on your own
But you can't cos you don't have the tools
But you can't cos you never had a muse

And I've accepted that you are what you are and this is how you'll remain
But better men would have got out of my way
