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 [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 [Chorus: x2] 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
