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

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
