I've seen the better man,
And the better man is chasing after me
And I've seen the braver man,
And the braver man is who I'm trying to be
And I've seen the perfect life,
But the perfect life is only good if it's true
And I've lived the harder life,
But the harder life is killing me and you

Oh no, oh no, things aren't gonna change,
Until we find a way to grow
Oh no, oh no, things aren't gonna change,
Until we find a way

Without losing ourselves
Without losing ourselves

I can live the bitter life,
But the bitter life is only hurting me
I've lived an honest life,
But the honest life is getting hard to lead
And I'll be the better man
If it helps me get through
And I won't live this life
If it means losing you

Oh no, oh no, things aren't gonna change,
Until we find a way to grow
Oh no, oh no, things aren't gonna change,
Until we find our way

Oh no, oh no, things aren't gonna change,
Until we find a way to grow
Oh no, oh no, things aren't gonna change,
Until we find our way

And they're never coming back,
Until we've learned how to change
Until we've learned how to change
Until we've learned how to change

Without losing ourselves

And I've seen the better man,
And the better man is chasing after me
And I've seen the braver man,
And the braver man is who I'm trying to be
