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 a perfect life, but the perfect life is only good if it's true,
And I've lived a harder life, but the harder life is killing me and you.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus × 2]

And they're never coming back,
Until we learn 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
