So much for never makin' the same mistake

I can't believe I'm here again

So much for ever thinkin' that I could change

My good intentions still remain in chains

[Chorus:]

She's gotta be over me now

Probably moved on with her life

Found someone she knows she can believe

God I would give anything if I could just go back again

And be the man she needed me to be

I thought I was a hero

I played him well

He saves the day but not himself

I acted out the lover

My finest part

Had all the lines but not the heart

No look where we are

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Be the man that she could trust, who put her first

Who tamed his demons, who healed her hurts

In health and sickness, who helped her grow

With no resentment, true repentance, God as my witness

[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]

She needed me to be

She needed me to be, oh

Whoa, hallelujah

Yeah, I could be that man she needed me, she needed me to be
