Better Than You

A single tear falls from my eye
As I begin to wonder why
What happened to the way we were
Tell me why did you choose her
What did she have that I did not
Did your love for me just rot?
All I want is to disappear
Why did you lie when you told me the things I wanted to hear?
That you really did love me
That you tried to get me to see
Past all your mistakes and all the lies
Into those beautiful eyes.
That you never meant to hurt me this way
That if I forgave you everything would be ok
And every time I believed you.
But what did you do?
I believed yet another lie
Just for you to once more say good-bye.
I had my heart broken
While the truth lay unspoken.
Now all I do is cry at night
And pray that everything will be all right.
I don’t want to live my life this way
Please tell me everything will be okay.
I try to move on and forget
But you will never be a love that I will regret.
I will always love you I guess
But my broken heart is such a mess.
All that I can do
Because I deserve so much better than you
Is take it one step at a time
And this time create a life that is all mine.
