Better Me For You Songtext
von Max McNown

Love was a game I played dealer′s choice
In the back of a bar all summer
Forgettin' names like background noise
In relationships, I wanted none of

Went off the rails by fall
Lord knows I needed savin′
Wore off the alcohol
And you were there like an angel waitin'

I didn't know you′d have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus spendin′ Friday nights at home
Didn't know you′d be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine lovin' with a heart of gold

And you′re everythin' that I′m not, everythin' that I want
There's a God, n′ baby you′re proof
In those brown eyes, I know that I got to find
A better me for you


Made a livin' dippin′ toes in the water
Feelin' low with my walls up high
I was stayin′ far away from the deep end
A girl like you made a boy like me try

Went off the rails that fall
Lord knows I needed savin'
Made me forget them all

And I didn′t know you'd have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus spendin' Friday nights at home
Didn′t know you′d be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine lovin' with a heart of gold

And you′re everythin' that I′m not, everythin' that I want
There′s a God, n' baby you're proof
In those brown eyes, I know that I got to find
A better me for you (oh)
A better me for you (oh)

Don′t worry about the miles that it takes
We can make every one of them worth all the drivin′
I'll sin′ your praises every way like the hymnals all say
I could love you 'til the end of time and


I never knew you′d have brown eyes
Liked to pray to Jesus, spendin' Friday nights at home
Never knew you′d be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine, lovin' with heart of gold

And you're everythin′ that I′m not, everythin' that I want
There′s a God, n' baby you′re proof
In those brown eyes, I know that I got to find
A better me for you
A better me for you (oh)
A better me for you
A better me for you
