Better Man

I feel lonely today
And I should call a friend tomorrow
The bank sent me a letter
There's no money left to borrow
There's a light out in my stairwell
It's been out for thirty days
It's not laziness
It's not giving a shit
They're close, but not the same
Well, if you're free today
We could go out in the sun
I hear kids outside playing
I wish we had that much fun
Or maybe I should focus
'Cause I've been in-between careers
And all I have to do is pick one
But I haven't made a choice in years

And I don't want to be a better man
I just want to be who I am
And I'll leave you alone
And I don't want to be a better man
I just want to be who I am
And I'll leave you alone

(Musical break)

Are you lonely tonight?
Or is that too sad to ask?
There's a couple on TV
And they remind me of the past
My friends don't know I'm empty
Because I always make them laugh
I fear what people think
But people only make me sad
But if you're free tomorrow
We could go out for a drive
My engine light keeps blinking
But the stereo works fine
If not I'll drive alone
It's my favorite waste of time
I'm the happiest with myself
When it's just me and my own mind

And I don't want to be a better man
I just want to be who I am
And I'll leave you alone
And I don't want to be a better man
I just want to be who I am
And I'll leave you alone
