A Better Man
I wish you could see me now
I hope that I make you proud
I wish you could see me now
I hope I make you proud
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
I've struggled with these words for more than 13 years
They've been spinning around my head but I could never get them out
The things I've seen, the sounds I've heard, will haunt the rest of my days
You always taught me life was so short
Who would have known that you were talking about your own?
Someone take away my pain
I just want to see you again
I wish you could see me now
I hope I make you proud
I had to grow up so fast
I cannot forgive the past
Death took my innocence when I was just a kid
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
What kind of world is this, to take a father from his sons when they were still so young?
To take a lover, take a brother, leaving nothing but a memory
I don't want to believe
No god
No justice
Just pain
And misery
What a thing to teach
You ask why I have no faith in this wretched place
Someone take away my pain
I just want to see you again
You've missed so much
I just wish I could show you what I have become
I wish you could see me now
I hope I make you proud
I had to grow up so fast
I cannot forgive the past
Death took my innocence when I was just a kid
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
Your silence
It deafened me
Your presence is all I need
Someone take away my pain
I just want to see you again
I wish you could see me now
(Wish you could see me now)
I hope that I make you proud
(I hope I make you proud)
Death took my innocence when I was just a kid
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
I hope that I make you proud
I wish you could see me now
I hope I make you proud
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
I've struggled with these words for more than 13 years
They've been spinning around my head but I could never get them out
The things I've seen, the sounds I've heard, will haunt the rest of my days
You always taught me life was so short
Who would have known that you were talking about your own?
Someone take away my pain
I just want to see you again
I wish you could see me now
I hope I make you proud
I had to grow up so fast
I cannot forgive the past
Death took my innocence when I was just a kid
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
What kind of world is this, to take a father from his sons when they were still so young?
To take a lover, take a brother, leaving nothing but a memory
I don't want to believe
No god
No justice
Just pain
And misery
What a thing to teach
You ask why I have no faith in this wretched place
Someone take away my pain
I just want to see you again
You've missed so much
I just wish I could show you what I have become
I wish you could see me now
I hope I make you proud
I had to grow up so fast
I cannot forgive the past
Death took my innocence when I was just a kid
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
Your silence
It deafened me
Your presence is all I need
Someone take away my pain
I just want to see you again
I wish you could see me now
(Wish you could see me now)
I hope that I make you proud
(I hope I make you proud)
Death took my innocence when I was just a kid
I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
