I know that I was not the one

To let my feelings show

In any way that mattered

The moment I felt

She might mean something to me

I would just run away

I felt that love was for the fool

Would tarnish any jewel

Turn a diamond to simple coal

Because in all my life

I never met that someone to make me feel love

was right, alright

Chorus:

Now I'll do most anything for you

To bring your love

Back into my empty world

You're the only girl I'm thinking of

Though I'll never know why you left this way

I'll try to understand

'Cause the moment you wee in my life

Made me better than I am

Now I see how issues from the past

Can manfest themselves

In your feelings for others

My bitter heart would poison loving souls of those

Who tried to come too close

And then you came into my life

And filled me with the strength

To face the pain inside me

Now that I've given you

The best part of my heart

I see you have your issues too

Your issues too

Chorus

Better than I am

I'm better than I am

Though I'll never know why you left this way

I'll try to understand

'Cause the moment you were in my life

Made me better than I am
