Blue October • Better Man • Pretty ending, LIVE in 2024 from Moline, IL

Justin Furstenfeld shares his introspective song, "Better Man," which was composed a couple years ago. This is a stirring performance that was played to kick-off the band’s 3-song encore.
Justin is accompanied by Ryan Delahoussaye on violin, and together, they elevate the melody of this beautiful song to new heights. 🌹 #blueoctober #livemusic #motivation

Thanks for watching! 💙 The Spring 2024 tour is coming to a close, but I’ll continue posting videos.
LYRICS to “Better Man”
I blame myself
'Cause I thought there was something wrong with me
I thought it would be easy
Just holding on
And now I see
There's no one close to me
Yeah, that's not how it's supposed to me
I made them run
Watch me as I handmake my own stone wall
There's a reason I won't ever let you in
Why they never mean what they say?
Told me they'd come back here someday
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
Never any luck when I try
Everyone's so good at goodbyes
And it's all I've ever known to walk away
So yeah, I'm gonna leave you
And learn how to stand
But then I'm gonna come back
A better man
I taught myself no one could love me
And it wouldn't be easy
This road I'm on
And now I'm gone
My head's hanging low again
But God, I could use a friend
I didn't trust no one
You better calm down, yeah, Mr. Wrecking Ball
There's a reason I won't ever let you in
Why they never mean what they say?
Told me they'd come back here someday
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
Never any luck when I try
Everyone's so good at goodbyes
And it's all I've ever known to walk away
So yeah, I'm gonna leave you
And learn how to stand
But then I'm gonna come back
A better man
I've never gone this far before
There's somethin' that I'm looking for
I didn't ask for your help
While I continue to find myself
I could've told you
The road makes fools of us all
Why they never mean what they say?
Told me they'd come back here someday
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
Never any luck when I try
Everyone's so good at goodbyes
And it's all I've ever known to walk away
Why they never mean what they say?
Told me they'd come back here someday
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
Never any luck when I try
Everyone’s so good at goodbyes
And it's all I've ever known to walk away
So yeah, I'm gonna leave you
And learn how to stand
Then I'm gonna come back
A better man
