lyrics

She said the room smells like smoke
And I can taste it on your lips
I said I've had a rough week I don't deserve this
I'm doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you

I've been diggin' my own grave
For 37 days
It's gettin' deeper
It's gettin' deeper
I've been doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you

She said I hate to see you stay, staying up
staying up late
Trying to fix these problems that you didn't create
I said I'm doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you

I've been diggin' my own grave
For 37 days
It's gettin' deeper
It's gettin' deeper
I've been doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you

And every night I lie awake
And think of how things used to be so great and
Everything I used to love is another thing I hate and
I'm doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man

It makes me feel sick
Sick to my stomach
Everything you say you'll do is just another broken promise and
I'm doing all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you

I said I'm doing all I can to be a better man to be a better man for you

I've been diggin' my own grave
For 37 days
It's gettin' deeper
It's gettin' deeper
I've been doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you
