Makes me a better man

You know I always come to you

And all I get is pain

Okay, so I'm exaggerating,
Acknowledging a degree of exaggeration in the expression of pain.
I'm just saying that's how it seems to me
Clarifying that the previous statements are subjective perceptions.

Raising a question about the fate of negative experiences.
Then what about the bad?
Contemplating the continuity of negative experiences.
Am I cursed to never see the fruits

And can I try, one more time,

My futile efforts never seem

To make my wish come true

What can I do?

I'll follow through with all these claims

I never cease to make

A promise to myself

Is one I promise to break

But when I have you by my side
Stating a positive influence when having someone by one's side.
Then I can do what's right
Expressing the ability to do what is right with support.
I'll become the co-pilot
Metaphorically describing becoming a subordinate in the mentioned relationship.
And you control this flight
Depicting the mentioned person's control over the course of life.
Then everything will be alright

This song's for me
Declaring the song as a personal reminder of life intentions.

Every word I sing
Asserting that every word sung serves as a personal statement against hypocrisy.
Is an anthem against my own hypocrisy?
Expressing a desire for personal freedom.
Let me be free
Concluding with a plea to be free.
