[Verse 1]
I couldn't stomach to sleep by your side
So I slumped on the sofa
Trampled and tongue-tied
You caught a glimpse
A glimpse of a wreck

"We’ve come to far to just walk away"
A hundred and sixty days in a row
Where the high temperature was zero or below
But I am no quitter
I'ma stick with my plan

And I fеlt the blood buzz through my brain
Yet, that was the morning that еverything changed
[Chorus]
I came here tonight
I came here to say
"We've come to far to just walk away"
A hundred and sixty days in a row
Where the high temperature was zero or below
But I am no quitter
I'ma stick with my plan
'Cause I promised you a much better man
A better man
[Outro]
It's been five months and a half since I left it behind
Since I took your hand and made up my mind
'Cause I am no quitter
I'ma stick with my plan
’Cause I promised you a much better man
A better man
