You thought you'd set the world on fire that life was just a song
|
You thought if you'd try hard enough things couldn't turn out wrong
|
How feeble is the string of those whose heartaches never ease
|
But there'll may be a chance for me for better things than these
|
So many battles fought and lost you've heard of constantly
|
For someone left to pay the cost and this time it's mean
|
But there's one thing I'm hopin' for someday the pain will leave
|
Tomorrow may rebuild to me much better things than these

You've learned to love somebody new it seems that I can't bear
|
To see you in another's arms and know you're happy there
|
My heart is broken still I try a jealous heart to please
|
It's hard to smile but God may show me the better things than these
|
