Be a Better Man

I'm trying to be a better man I want to show you who I really am I need your help to grow, please give me your hand You make me want to change and be a better man I never cared about love, thought sex was the only thing that mattered Leaving one girl in tears, to have the next in laughter I was playing girls and bed hopping I know you'll judge me, because these things aren't said often I would flirt with every female in the streets You're wondering why I'm putting these details on this sheet I want you to know the truth and see my growth I hope you'll see why we should be close I thought my mum not being around gave me a reason Using girls as a bandage who didn't understand the way I was bleeding Then you came along and something felt different It's like you're the puzzle piece that was missing I want to start a new chapter and create our story I just hope my past doesn't go before me I'm not who i used to be, so let me be your happiness I want to paint the picture with you, not capture it I'm trying to be a better man It's not about who I was, but who I am I need your help to grow, please give me your hand You make me want to change and be a better man
