I'm a strong man I can lift heavy things
I do construction in torn and tattered blue jeans
I drive a pick up drink beer eat buffalo wings
In the sports bar with all my macho buddies
I'm in control of my life and what people see
Still I'm terrified of what they would say
If they found out about you and me
And that's the reason why you are not here in my arms
And the reason why I push you away
Cause the fear inside is greater than my courage allows
It's always been better this way
always been better this way
I'm a good man I'm always doing good deeds
I build houses for people in need
And all of my life I've always needed to please
And it may just end any happiness out there for me
I can't believe that right in front of me is the only one I'll ever need
But I'm terrified of the whispers and the gossip and the hate that I've seen
And that's the reason why I can't seem to let go of my heart
And the reason why I push you away
And nothings ever equal in this game that I play
When it means it's love I'm gonna betray
Now I know it's not better this way
Here you are deep in my love where I find all the strength that I need
It's all because of you
now I'm stronger
and I'm stronger
I'm stronger with you
And that's the reason why I'm giving you all of my heart
I swear I'll never push you away
The only thing that matters is your here in my arms
Baby it's better this way
Baby it's better this way
Baby it's better this way
Better this way
Better this way
Better this way
Better this way
Better this way
Better this way
Better this way
Better this way
