better man

(Verse 1)
Yo, lemme take you back, to a darker place
Lost in the haze, a constant, weary chase
Every day a battle, with a ghost inside my head
Chasing highs, feeling hollow, wishing I was dead
But then a light appeared, a beacon in the night
A love so true, it helped me win the fight
You saw past the struggle, the pain I couldn't hide
And with your hand in mine, I turned the tide.

(Chorus)
From the shadows I emerged, with a new lease on life
Left the old me behind, escaped the endless strife
Now we're building a future, a family so grand
With you by my side, I'm a better man.

(Verse 2)
The cravings still whisper, sometimes in my ear
But your love's a shield, it banishes all fear
We talk about everything, the good and the bad
The past is a lesson, a story to be had
Now laughter fills our home, where once there was despair
A little one on the way, love floating in the air
You changed my perspective, showed me what's real
A love so profound, a wound that starts to heal.
