I was down, I been kicked around One too many times by love I took a ride on the downhill slide I thought I'd never get back up Every day I got a little more lonely Every day more black and blue Till I met you And I'm better now I saw the light Lying down next to you each night I'm better now Oh and I'm better now Holding on Didn't know love could make a man so strong I'm better now I'm better now Sometimes a man has to stand On the edge of the world To see how far he might fall Into the darkness and lose it all Every day I get a little bit higher A little bit closer to the truth Because of you Every broken dream and heartbeat Every tear I had to lose Brought me to you
