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 'em from the binding, one night, when you were crying?
Let 'em blow like crumpled leaves right out the door
Was it all too much to gamble?
The rose ain't worth the bramble
The fairy tale ending don't come true
I'm a storybook cowboy
A weary trail plow boy
Who don't know how to love a girl like you
Next time, I'll be better for you
Next time, gray 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 loose in stormy weather
Were lost just like the letters that you wrote
Empty pockets full of chances
Empty arms and lonesome dances
A bouquet full of promises I broke
So maybe not in this run in this life or this love
Forgiveness ain't a road you wanna go
So I'll see you in the next life
With lightning bugs and butterflies
And build you that castle in a rose
Next time, I'll be better for you
Next time, gray 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, gray 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
But I can't find the chapters that we wrote
Did you rip 'em from the binding, one night, when you were crying?
Let 'em blow like crumpled leaves right out the door
Was it all too much to gamble?
The rose ain't worth the bramble
The fairy tale ending don't come true
I'm a storybook cowboy
A weary trail plow boy
Who don't know how to love a girl like you
Next time, I'll be better for you
Next time, gray 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 loose in stormy weather
Were lost just like the letters that you wrote
Empty pockets full of chances
Empty arms and lonesome dances
A bouquet full of promises I broke
So maybe not in this run in this life or this love
Forgiveness ain't a road you wanna go
So I'll see you in the next life
With lightning bugs and butterflies
And build you that castle in a rose
Next time, I'll be better for you
Next time, gray 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, gray 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
