"Better Man" lyrics

Mikey told me a story once
How he watched his two best friends break up
And then ten years later they fell in love again
I know that he had good intentions
Saying crazier things have happened
And in ten years you could come right back again
And mess me up again
So if you see me down on 34th street
If you see me at your favorite bar
If you find yourself thinking about me
Would you do me a favor

If you get the chance
To look me In the face and say you want me back
Saying that you changed and you're a better man
If you're thinking about loving me again
Please don't
Yeah I understand
You're just running back because you know you can
Looking so sweet
But I know better, man
Yeah I know better than believing
You're a better man now

Had a dream wake me up last night
We were in your room it felt kinda right
Just laying there until you turned off the lights
Well I guess I still slip up sometimes
Always been a weakness
This expired idea of you
I don't even know what I'm holding on to

So If you get the chance
To look me in the face and say you want me back
Saying that you changed and you're a better man
If you're thinking about loving me again
Please don't
Yeah I understand
You're just running back because you know you can
Looking so sweet
But I know better, man
Yeah I know better than believing
You're a better man now

So if you see me down on 34th street
If you see me at your favorite bar
If you find yourself thinking about me
So If you see me at an empty airport
If you see me down at Danny's show
If we run into each other in another life
Would you do me a favor

If you get the chance
To look me In the face and say you want me back
Saying that you changed and you're a better man
If you're thinking about loving me again
Please don't
Yeah I understand
You're just running back because you know you can
Looking so sweet
But I know better, man
Yeah I know better than believing
You're a better man now
