A Better Man

I never thought you'd leave me

Though i know i hurt you many times

This foolish man hell bent on telling lies

I saw the pain upon your face

And hung my head in such disgrace 

As love was all i saw within your eyes

I wake with every dawning new 

I turn my head to look at you

This lonely bed so empty you not here

The pillow that you slept on

Still lingers with your perfume 

But the scent of you will slowly disappear  

I promised you forever

And i swear that i meant every word 

But here i am, a sorry man inside 

I know i pushed you far away

So far that you could never stay

And how you feel is truly justified

Now lonely days turn nights alone

I long for you to come on home

Yet chances are that's something you won't do 

And soon enough you're sure to find 

A loving man who'll treat you kind 

A better man, and one that's made for you
