Lyrics
Better Things Than These
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
[ fiddle ]
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
