…[Chorus 1: BW]
Be better
Do better
Think better
You've never been half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
[Verse 1: BW]
I'm…
…half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
[Chorus 2: BW]
Be better
Do better…
…better
Think better
You've never been half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
[Verse 3: Caleb Murphy…

…love me
But you can't say it to my face
When did the king i thought I saw in you lose his crown?
When did the man i thought you…
…i saw in you lose his crown?
When did the man i thought you were
Become the boy who let me down?
You let me down
[BRIDGE…
…crown?
When did the man i thought you were
Become the boy who let me down?
You let me down
You let me down
You let me down…

…I thought you were
I bet she's not too different from me
A trusting heart just yearning to believe
Every idealistic…
So much, for the man I thought you were
I wish I could tell her everything she put me through
But I can't hate her, cause I know…
And I fell like you can only fall the first time
You would tear me down just to build me back up
Leave me praying that you loved me just as much
And the truth wasn't what I deserved
So much, for the man I thought you were…

You're not the man I thought you were such ashamed
You're not the man I thought you were no one still the same
Did you think…

…â€Ã…"I feel so good with all these people smiling!â€Ã‚
Waste your sun!!!... and drink your cold honey,
You say...what?
"You're not the man…
…i thought you were!"
The fools need to move the mouth and bite the bones.
Why do we feel quite good, quite bad?
Muppets…
…i thought you were!"
The fools need to move the mouth and bite the bones.
Why don't you lick your new red lips, your…

…compromised
Complaining everyday
about everything in sight
I've let your stay a while
Now i am getting bored
No substance in your style and
you're not the man…
…i thought you were
You had me taken in
But know i've found you out
And I won't go through that again
You've…

…it (Take it), save it
Put it back, fuck it, erase it
I just don't know how I can take it
'Cause my heart is breakin'
I've been mistaken
You're not the man I…
…thought you were
And they tried to warn me
Yeah, they tried to warn me
[Chorus]
You can't tell me (No), nothing 'bout my man
I…

…change direction?
When you smile at me, I'm infected
[Chorus]
Now should we lie to keep each other here
Or tell the truth and burn?
Are you the man…
…I thought you were
Or is there more to learn?
And it would be unfair to tell you…

…change direction?
When you smile at me, I'm infected
[Chorus]
Now should we lie to keep each other here
Or tell the truth and burn?
Are you the man…
…I thought you were
Or is there more to learn?
And it would be unfair to tell you…
…(pick)
Made me cry when you told a lie (lie)
Made me want to die (die)
How did this be, 'cause you're not here with me?
You are not the man…
…I thought you were
Now I know, cause I'm sure
Never hurt you is what you said
You are not a man of your own words
You…

There is no logic
No reason
No logic at all
To keep holding on
To the hope
You'll turn into
The man I thought you were
I can't…
