Jake - better man (Lyrics)

Made with Suno AI 🖤 LYRICS: [Verse 1] You say he knows the way you take your coffee I know you leave the sugar on the side He gets the stories that you tell your friends first I get the parts you swallow when you’re tired I’m not saying he’s a bad man, darling That would make this easier to defend I just keep finding little ways to prove it Every time you let me in [Pre-Chorus] I can hold the door, I can read the room I can learn the names your family uses If he’s the one you chose, I’ll let that stand But I still want to be the better man [Chorus] I wanna be better than him Not noble, not clean, not innocent I wanna walk in and make you think twice With steadier hands and a sharper mind I wanna be better than him Even if you never let me begin Call it petty, call it what you can I just wanna be the better man [Verse 2] He forgets the dates you circle in red ink I remember every place you want to go He talks like every room belongs to him I make a little space and let you breathe slow Maybe I’m keeping score for no good reason Maybe I’m dressing envy up as plans But if you ever reach for something different I’ll be ready where I stand [Pre-Chorus] I can take the long way, I can take the blame I can show up early in the pouring rain If he’s the one you chose, I’ll understand Still, I wanna be the better man [Chorus] I wanna be better than him Not noble, not clean, not innocent I wanna walk in and make you think twice With steadier hands and a sharper mind I wanna be better than him Even if you never let me begin Call it petty, call it what you can I just wanna be the better man [Bridge] I don’t need you to hate him I don’t need a grand mistake I just need one quiet second When you wonder what you gave away And if that second never finds you I’ll still know who I am A little too proud, a little too jealous Trying hard to be a better man [Final Chorus] I wanna be better than him Not noble, not clean, not innocent I wanna walk in and make you think twice With steadier hands and a sharper mind I wanna be better than him Even if you never let me begin Call it petty, call it what you can I just wanna be the better man [Outro] If you’re happy, I’ll leave it there But I’ll still work on these hands Just in case you ever need to see The better man
