You Can Do Better Than Me, But I Hope You Don't

I’d like to become the man that
I am supposed to be
But I’m a rotten tooth in
A mouth full of crooked teeth
Now doing the right thing ain’t easy
It doesn’t come naturally
And now you can barely look at me
And I can barely speak
And love we used to know
Where to find it
These feelings, they don’t go
And I can’t hide it
Do you still want me?
You can’t look at me
I should say I’m sorry
But my throat won’t let me speak
I’ve been hiding all my flaws
But, you saw the truth on my face
And now that it’s all come crashing down
You’ve handled it with so much grace
So now you know all my secrets
And yet you still talk to me
Your love was the atomic bomb
And my heart was Nagasaki
And love I used to know
Who the hell I was
Now I can’t shake your shadow
I can’t escape your ghost
Do you still want me?
You can’t look at me
I should say I’m sorry
But my throat won’t let me speak
Do you still want me?
I can hardly breathe
I should say I’m sorry
You can do better than me
