Better love

Verse 1
I see the way he talks to you,
Half-hearted, like you’re just a view
No depth, no fire in his eyes
While you’re out here giving paradise

You laugh it off but I can tell
There’s parts of you he doesn’t feel
You deserve a love that stays
Not something that just fades away

Pre-Chorus
I’m trying hard to play my part
But every time you break, it breaks my heart

Chorus
I could love you better, better than he ever could
Give you something real, like I know you deserve
Every tear you hide, I’d turn it into gold
Hold you through the night, never let you feel alone

But you’re loving him…
While I’m loving you in silence
I’d give you the world, no hesitation
Girl, you don’t even know

Verse 2
He don’t notice when you change your hair
Or the way you glow when someone cares
I’m memorizing every piece
Every flaw you think don’t need to be

I’d learn your storms, your every scar
Be your peace, not break your heart
But I’m stuck here on the side
Watching him just waste your light

Pre-Chorus
I bite my tongue, I play it cool
But deep inside I’m wanting you

Chorus
I could love you better, better than he ever could
Give you something real, like I know you deserve
Every tear you hide, I’d turn it into gold
Hold you through the night, never let you feel alone

But you’re loving him…
While I’m loving you in silence
I’d give you the world, no hesitation
Girl, you don’t even know

Bridge
I ain’t tryna break what you got
But it’s breaking me just to watch
You settle for less than your worth
When I’d give you heaven on earth

If you ever open your eyes
And see the truth you deny
I’ll be right here, no disguise
Loving you the right way this time

Outro
I could love you better…
Even if it ain’t mine
I’ll be loving you forever
From the sidelines
