The Best Man That You Can Be

The Best Man That You Can Be (For Damo) © 2021 – Jon Davis


Keeping up appearances is never easy

With expectations from family and friends

At home your life is filled with black toxicity

On the outside they see a love that would never end


The time has come to make a hard decision

One that is going to break up your family

Still, do what’s right and keep a calm position

There are some things your children should never see


[CHORUS]

Like you, I’ve been in darker places

Hold your head up high and leave with dignity

Nobody wins in painful situations

Just be the best man that you can be


There are always three sides to every story

That doesn’t matter when love and hate collide

Right now you’re in uncharted territory

But you’ll be fine when you come out the other side


[CHORUS]

Like you, I’ve been in darker places

Hold your head up high and leave with dignity

Nobody wins in painful situations

Just be the best man that you can be


[BRIDGE]

I travelled the world looking for an answer

I met a girl in Nashville, Tennessee

In our few short days together, we loved a lifetime

And she brought out the very best in me


It’s OK to feel like you’ve lost direction

Times like these can really hurt your pride

Whatever happens just know you’ve got protection

Your mates are standing right here by your side


[CHORUS]

Like you, I’ve been in darker places

Hold your head up high and leave with dignity

Nobody wins in painful situations

Just be the best man that you can be


You are a great man, so be the best that you can be…
