Something Better Than You

I bled these hands just to keep you warm Worked

Through the night, through the wind and storm

Skipped my meal so you could dine Took

On the debt just to see you shine

And every dime I made went straight to you

While, I wore boots with the soles worn through

But it didn't matter what I tried to do

You looked me in the eye and said I need

Something better than you

You said I'd never be enough

That love alone won't fill you up

So you chased the glow of city lights

And left behind our simple life

You thought his world was all brand new

But all you left was a heart that knew

I gave you everything I could do

And still you said

I need something better than you

You traded calloused hands for empty lies

Champagne nights for tear-stained eyes

That high life crashed and now you see

The truth ain't always a luxury

I built a peace that don't fade away

A steady love that chose to stay

The kind that stands when storms come through

All cause you told me I need

Something better than you Now you staring at a motel wall

Wondering how you lost it all The diamonds turned to broken glass

Your promises blew by too fast

And here I stand with a heart brand new

Thanking God I made it through

While you're still chasing what ain't true

Still searching for something better than you

Now every word you threw my way

Comes back each night like a debt to pay

And every tear I cried back then

Feels sweeter now than it did back when

I found a love that don't compare

She's proof that real hearts still care

No diamonds, no games, no lies to hide

Just a home where peace resides

So if you wonder what became of me

I'm right where I was meant to be

You went looking for the sky so blue

And I found heaven without you

Yeah, you're still looking

For something better than you knew

Oh, oh, oh, oh
