[Verse 1]

I made a promise

I swore to god that I would keep

Oh, I’m not flawless

Lord knows my record it ain’t clean

But from now on it will be

I’ll be honest

There’s still a lot for me to learn

I’m the product

Of all the bridges that I’ve burned

Guess growing always hurts


[Pre-Chorus]

I’m tired of my life

Being tied to my past

Crying over time

That I’ll never get back


[Chorus]

I’m ready for a new beginning

I don’t ever wanna lose myself again

I know my heart is willing

Just need to get my mind to understand that

It’s gonna take a minute

But I hope that in the еnd it all makes sense

I‘ll do all I can

To bе a better man


[Post-Chorus]

All I can

All I can

I‘ll do all I can

To be a better man


[Verse 2]

Under the surface

There’s still the broken part of me

Oh, I’m still hurting

Guess that I’m caught up in between

Myself and who I wanna be


[Pre-Chorus]

I’m tired of a life

Intertwined with regret

Holding on despite

All the fights in my head


[Chorus]

I’m ready for a new beginning

I don’t ever wanna lose myself again

I know my heart is willing

Just need to get my mind to understand that

It’s gonna take a minute

But I hope that in the end it all makes sense

I‘ll do all I can

To be a better man


[Post-Chorus]

All I can

All I can

I’ll do all I can

To be a better man

All I can

I’ll do all I can

I‘ll do all I can

To be a better man
