A Better Man Than I Can Be
Navigating Love's Evolution: A Better Man Than I Can Be
Lyrics
I'm so over this
Expressing exhaustion or being fed up
Don't wanna start an argument
Avoiding conflict but acknowledging the need to discuss a topic
But you know we need to talk about it
Highlighting the necessity for a conversation
Cause you've been so distant
Pointing out emotional distance
And I see the difference
Observing a change in behavior or interaction
In the way that you touch me
Noticing a difference in physical affection
In the ways that you love me
Perceiving a change in expressions of love
And I don't understand it, baby, tell me what's changed
Seeking an explanation for the perceived changes
It seems all of a sudden, we ain't on the same page no more
Feeling a sudden disconnect or lack of alignment
No more
Emphasizing the shift in the relationship
I try to pry it out of you, but you say that it's nothin'
Attempting to understand the issue but facing denial
Let's get straight to the issue girl, you switched cause I'm missing the right equipment, Right?
Questioning if the change is due to gender-related reasons
You try to deny it, but I see in your eyes girl, I know that it's true
Seeing truth in the partner's eyes despite denial
I guess I just don't do it for you no more
Realizing a decrease in personal significance
The novelty of being with me went and got old
Acknowledging the fading excitement or interest
Sorry that I'm not cis, sorry that you're so bored with me now
Expressing regret for not meeting societal norms
Why'd you have to go and make me think you loved me?
Questioning the authenticity of past affection
For me
Seeking genuine love and understanding
I know you want somebody better than me
Feeling inadequate compared to desired expectations
A better man than I can be
Expressing the desire to be a better person
A better man than I can be
Reiterating the desire to improve oneself
I know you want somebody better than me
-A better man than I can be
-A better man than I can be
-Where do we go from here?
Asking about the future direction of the relationship
The truth has been exposed, our future's unclear
Uncertainty about the relationship due to revealed truth
You crying, shedding tears
Noticing the partner's emotional response
Don't want this to be over, but I fear it's already too late
Fearing the irreparable damage despite reluctance
Cause now we know that this problem isn't going away
Realizing the persistence of the underlying issue
This love is way too costly
Describing love as emotionally taxing
You made me hate my body
Highlighting emotional impact on self-esteem and identity
You made me think nobody in this world would ever want me
-You made me feel like being trans was something that was ugly
-Why's it such a chore for you to love me?
Questioning the difficulty in receiving love
You saying anything to save face, but my mind's made
Perceiving insincerity despite outward reassurance
Go find another boy who's got all the things you crave
Encouraging the partner to seek someone else
Someone who isn't missing anything, why did you change up on me girl?
Questioning the reason for the partner's change
Why can't I be enough, for you?
Expressing inadequacy and seeking validation
Why can't I be enough for you?
-I know you want somebody better than me
Reiterating the desire to improve and feeling insufficient
A better man than I can be
-A better man than I can be
-I know you want somebody better than me
-A better man than I can be
-A better man than I can be
-I've got to put myself first
Emphasizing the importance of self-care and self-worth
Cause you won't make the effort
-I'm through with feelin' lesser
-Your love is not the answer
-I've got to put myself first
-Ignore the way my chest hurts
-I'm through with feelin' lesser
-Your love is not the answer
-I've got to put myself first
-Cause you won't make the effort
-I'm through with feelin' lesser
-Your love is not the answer
-I've got to put myself first
-Ignore the way my chest hurts
-I'm through with feelin' lesser
-Your love is not the answer
-I know you want somebody better than me
Continued expression of the desire for self-improvement
A better man than I can be
-A better man than I can be
-I know you want somebody better than me
-A better man than I can be
-A better man than I can be
-I know you want somebody better than me
-A better man than I can be
-A better man than I can be
