lyrics

be a better man for you
i don’t know how I can
be a better man for you
i don’t know how I can
be a better man for you
be a better man for you

I’ll sit in my room winding twine and ribbon ‘round my picture–I’ll float through my window to visit you and 300 moons and we’ll walk together just like we used to

be a better man for you
i don’t know how I can
be a better man for you
i don’t know how I can
be a better man for you
be a better man for you

I’ll look in my mirror porcelain blue eyes look at how I fissure under the stare of your blinding headlight beamers fossilizing me under tar over and over

be a better man for you
i don’t know how I can
be a better man for you
i don’t know how I can
be a better man for you
be a better man for you
