lyrics

If I was a better man I’ll tell you what I’d do
I would walk away from every day that doesn’t lead to you
And insofar as disregarding what I ought to do
You don’t have to love me baby, I’ll keep on loving you

If I was a better man I’ll tell you what I’d say
I would sing a song of moving on and never speak your name
I’d swear to god I’m better off cause that’s what people do
You don’t have to love me baby, I’ll keep on loving you

If I was a better man I’d always walk the line
Instead of giving up because your love it gets me every time
Well it’s easier to fall in love than it is to follow through
You don’t have to love me baby I’ll keep on loving you

And if I was a better man than I would realize
That i built you up into a lover seven times your size
Could it be you’re everything and still someone who
Wouldn’t want to love me baby, I’ll keep on loving you

If I was a better man than I will ever be I would
Never pray for you to stay at home and think of me
But if you see that what you need is a different point of view
You can try to love me baby maybe I will love you too
You can try to love me baby maybe I will love you too
