Better Than She Ever Has
By Melia Settle
(Verse 1)
You call me late,
Say you're parked outside her place again
Hands on the wheel,
Heart in your throat,
Can't tell her it's the end
You say she screams over nothing,
Over everything
Then you laugh and say I feel safer
When I'm next to you instead
(Chorus)
You tell me I've treated you
Better than she ever has
But you still go home to her temper,
To her cold, to her careless hands
I'm standing here on the sidelines
Giving you all I can,
You tell me i’ve treated you better
So why are you still her man? x2
(Verse 2)
You say my name
Like a secret that you're scared to lose.
Eyes on the floor,
But your fingers always find the truth.
We sit in my car,
Windows fog from all the could’ve been
You whisper, if I met you first,
Then go where you’ve already been
(Chorus)
You tell me I've treated you better
Better than she ever has
But you still go home to her temper
To her cold, to her careless hands
I'm standing here on the sidelines,
Giving you all I can,
You tell me I've treated you better
So why are you still her man?
(Bridge)
I don’t wanna be the lesson
You remember when you’re old
I wanna be the choice you make
Not the secret that you hold
If I'm what you've been missing,
Then don't leave me in the past
You say I've treated you better
Are you ever gonna choose that?
(Outro Chorus)
You tell me I've treated you better
Better than she ever has
But you still go home to her temper
To her cold, to her careless hands
I’m tired of waiting on the sidelines
Breaking while you look back
You tell me I've treated you better
So why are you still her man x2
