lyrics

You wanna be the better man
Don't you know you can?
You wanna be the one who stands
all alone at the end

The end is coming near for you
The walls are closing in, you won't be free
And I fear your dreams and promises
are broken, guaranteed
And when I reach for you in this future
you won't be around the way I need
But this ain't about me

You wanna be the bigger man
Don't you know you can't?
You're gonna be an also-ran
Don't you know that's always been your plan?

Plans are swallowing your time
Life is passing by, you never knew
That you're a nowhere man
Look into my eyes, you know it's true
And all your victories are only in your mind
You'll find you break my heart in two
But this ain't about you

You're just a man who's insecure
And I won't be the wall to hold you up
And when it's all a blue
I hope you'll have the faith to smash your cup
And when the winter closes in
I hope you'll call my name and know it's not enough
But this ain't about us

You wanna bring the magic, friend
Don't forget all you are's a man
Just a man.
