Better Man

by CoLliN   Aug 23, 2005


Gave up on holding on but never let go
cried but i wiped my tears because i believed in us two
made a rebound but i\'m still loving you
i guess thats confirmation that my love was true

i could be tripping...i could be slipping but i was in love
i could be wishing...i could be loving..but it was always something good you reminded me of

gave up the street talk and gangsta fights so with you i could stand
i didn\'t think i was good enough so i gave up being a player so i could be a better man

wasn\'t enough that i came running at your house to put you in comfort

you say..we\'re not even close friends

guess i was the only one carring the support

how can someone be so cold and yet be my warm?
how can you do this to me...and i was the cow..in your farm?

no matter how much i cried
no matter how much i prayed
no matter how much i tried
didn\'t matter how long i stayed

gave you my all..and couldn\'t even get back your partnership
guess the boyfriend pants didn\'t fit

i was the one who hold you when you was desperate and in need
for you..i didn\'t settle for being the better man...
i tried to be the best man i can be

how can love escape my grasp and i didn\'t even let go
my heart was losing its essence and i didn\'t even know

for you i gave up all my pleasures
made you happy no matter the measures
didn\'t care about my loss because you was all my treasures

you make me wonder if love is worth it
now i\'m wondering how can i keep my candles lit

depended on you down to my last breath

now that your not there......
now where???

all this emotions and you were never my girl
all this measures and you were never my pearl

lol

funny how my situation can be so dead
sorry in your heart my love couldn\'t spread

don\'t know what you see in that scam
because i know i was the better man
