a better man lyrics

Once in a while i drift in time,
To a place in my memory that it still hurts to find,
I was taking on the world with a see through smile,
But dying on the inside all the while,
I was dying on the inside all the while.

Like a martyr that don't want sympathy,
I locked away my feeling and threw away the key,
It was gonna take a miracle to pierce my pride,
And you were the tower of strength that tried,
When your lovin' washed right over me like the tide.

And now i believe in love (i believe in love),
I believe in love (i believe in love),
You're the reason why i can,
Cos when i look at myself in the mirror,
I see a better man,
A better maa-an.

Yes it's hard finding words that can say how i feel about you,
I don't care if it sounds like another old cliche,
But i can't stand the thought of living my life without you,
for even a daaa-ay-ay.

INSTRUMENTAL

And now i believe in love (i believe in love),
Yes I believe in love (i believe in love),
You're the reason why i can,
Cos when i look at myself in the mirror,
Oh baby when i look at myself in the mirror,
When i'm lookin at myself in the mirror,
I see a better man.
