Better Than I've Ever Been
Redeeming Myself: A Journey to Becoming
Lyrics
I was never the one to pull the strings
I was never the one to control or manipulate situations.
Gave my everything but you couldn't see
I gave my all, but you were unable to recognize it.
The potential growth beneath the seams
There is untapped potential for growth beneath the surface.
Of this mending heart inside of me
Refers to healing and recovery within the speaker's heart.
I swear i'll make a better man
Expresses determination to become a better person.
Better than i've ever been
A commitment to surpass previous versions of oneself.
Just to prove that i can take a stand
To demonstrate the ability to take a firm position.
Bow my head and be proud
A gesture of humility and pride in one's actions.
Of who i am
Acknowledging and embracing one's identity with pride.
You let me go
You allowed me to leave or move on.
You laid me low
You brought me to a low point or emotionally affected me.
I was never the one to walk away
I was not inclined to walk away from challenges or relationships.
Gave you my best effort constantly
I consistently gave my best effort to the relationship.
Even if i had the words to say
Even if I had the right words, there was no reason for you to stay.
There was still no reason for you to stay
Despite efforts, the relationship could not be sustained.
So go ahead and walk away
An acceptance of the situation, encouraging the other person to move on.
Bow my head and be proud
Pride in oneself, regardless of the past difficulties.
There's nothing stopping me now
A declaration of personal freedom and empowerment.
You're living life with regret and no purpose
Commentary on the other person's life filled with remorse and aimlessness.
I swear i'll make a better man
Reiterating the commitment to personal improvement.
Better than i've ever been
Expressing determination to become an improved version of oneself.
Just to prove that i can take a stand
To demonstrate the ability to take a firm position.
Bow my head and be proud
Acknowledging and embracing one's identity with pride.
Of who i am
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and acceptance.
I've always wanted to know
A curiosity about the experiences and perspective of the other person.
What it's like to be you
Desire to understand the challenges and emotions of the other person.
Creator of destruction
Labeling the other person as a creator of chaos and turmoil.
And all you put me through
Reflecting on the hardships imposed by the other person.
I've always wanted to know
Continued curiosity about the experiences of the other person.
What it's like to be you
Reiteration of the desire to understand the other person's perspective.
I swear i'll make a better man
Reaffirmation of the commitment to personal growth.
Better than i've ever been
To surpass previous versions of oneself and prove capability.
Just to prove that i can take a stand
To demonstrate the ability to take a firm position.
Bow my head and be proud
Acknowledging and embracing one's identity with pride.
Of who i am
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and acceptance.
