( Better Man )

I would never change my yesterdays, they made me who I am
I made lots of mistakes in life, but they all made me a better man
We live and learn and practice, we watch others pay the price
Sometimes we take chances, its all in the roll of the dice

The nights were like a dagger, long, cold and often dark
I sat there and contemplated, no avail on reaching a spark
As time turned the pages, it always helped me to understand
You cant change the hands of time, even if you demand

Sometimes its better to leave, than stay there and get hurt
Love can be a complicated word, that buries you in the dirt
Learn from all the pain you get, your heart is made real strong
If its not the place to be, its best to know right from wrong

Keep on showing how you feel, never hold in the guilt
All the walls that once were up, will tumble that you built
Your heart will feel much better, and cooling from the fan
Overall in the long run, you will always be a better man
