Cover art for Better Man lyrics by Pearl Jam

This is an awesome song, though horribly sad. I always liked it, but it's recently taken on a deeper meaning to me. There is this girl who is one of my best friends that I always had slightly deeper feelings for. Anyway, she keeps settling for these guys whose league she is far beyond. And when she started to get the impression that I had feelings for her, she withdrew and went back to her self-destructive relationship patterns. Even when an opportunity for true happiness presents itself, she still withdraws. She can't find the better man.

Dude.... This is almost exactly how I feel. Good to know I'm not alone.

Not Valid

I have just ended a relationship of 5 years which this song describes perfectly...even though I know its for the best its so hard dealing with the intense loneliness.

@loopydate Wow! I see this from the female prospective of that! Every single relationship I've been in has ended in abuse, or just badly in general. And sometimes it's hard for me to see when a guy is good for me, even if he's standing next to me.
