Better For You

I keep thumbing through the pages of the story of you

But I can't find the chapters that we wrote

Did you rip them from the binding

One night when you were crying?

Let them blow like crumpled leaves

Right out the door

Was it all too much to gamble?

The rules ain't worth the bramble

The fairy tale ending don't come true

Well I'm a story book cowboy

Where the trail plow boys

Don't know how to love a girl like you

Next time, I'll be better for you

Next time grey skies turn blue

My love

I'll understand if you're through

Next time I'll be better for you

The tires that were tethered

Tore lose in stormy weather

Were lost just like the letters that you wrote

Empty pockets full of chances

Empty arms and mums and dances

A bouquet full of promises I broke

So maybe not in this run

In this life or this love

Forgiveness ain't road you want to go

So I'll see you in the next life

With lightening bugs and butterflies

And build you that castle and a rose

Next time, I'll be better for you

Next time grey skies turn blue

My love

I'll understand if you're through

Next time I'll be better for you

Next time, I'll be better for you

Next time grey skies turn blue

My love

I'll understand if you're through

Next time I'll be better for you

Oh my love, I'll understand if you're through

Next time I'll be better for you

Next time I'll be better for you

Next time I'll be better for you
