Because I can do better.

Lying..dying..crying

Seemingly forever goodbying

Alone and weeping

Bitterly thinking

Engulfed by despair

Us, no longer a pair

I thought it would kill me

But it somehow stronger willed me.

You know....

I will do better.

I will no longer be vulnerable

My heart, no more transferable

I will enhance the moat

And sink the boat 

That served as a bridge to my heart

I will do better.

I will find a more suitable guy

A man who knows not a single lie

Yes, a man.

Not a boy.

Someone who will bring me joy

Someone to call me his

Who wants a house and kids

Who doesn't always want to fight

A man who knows how to treat a woman right.

I will do better.

But I won't stop there.

I won't settle for just better than you

I won't settle for any less than the best I can do

I will find someone deserving

Someone to satisfy this yearning

I will find my other half

I CAN do better.

He calls me his baby,

And treats me like a lady.

He lives by the word of the lord

And always makes sure I know I'm his world 

He found the key to my heart,

And fixed everything you tore apart.

I love him, and he feels the same

In fact, next month I'll take on his last name.

I finally found the one who completes me, unlike you.

I told you I'd do better than you, that I'd do the best I could do,

And...well, you can't do better than forever, can you?<3
