Nothing Ever Hurt Her (quite Like Me)

I was strong enough to love her too weak to walk the line

And a dozen times she gave me one more try

She must've gotten on a bus maybe caught a train

Baby always was afraid to fly

The note she wrote was simple asking me for one last favor

Forgive the way she slipped out in the night

No matter how she did it she knew something should be done

And God love her she did what she thought was right

Funny how I miss the little crazy things she did

Like turning off the TV when it storms

Missing how she snuggled up beside me in the bed

Remembering how her feet were never warm

How she came running to my arms scared to death of thunderstorms

And any dog half big enough to bark

Even called me up at work and begged me hurry home

And told me she got lonely after dark

And the worst mistake I'd ever make

Was the way I underestimated baby at first time

I curse the rain for falling down

And try pretending she'd gone shopping downtown when the sun shines

I read the note a hundred times above and in between the lines

And a man would have to be blind out to see

That all the things she's written of I'm the only thing she's ever loved

And nothing ever hurt her quite like me

Oh nothing ever hurt her quite like me
