The Better life

by Tamara   Mar 31, 2005


Today when I looked at you I saw something that I had never noticed before
I saw a boy who needed somebody’s help, instead of the guy I swore I couldn’t love anymore

I found the innocence that I know was long ago lost
I saw the broken heart that caused you to be the way that you are, the heart that steals your emotions always keeping them hidden no matter what the cost

Through your words I suddenly heard your every fear, I heard things I’m not sure you wanted me to hear
As of that moment the problems that burden your life seemed so clear

For the first time I could see past the alcoholic that ruined both your life and my own
I saw the hatred that through out your entire life you’d always been shown

In that second, i regained faith in you
I had hope that this time youd make it through

Now im trying to help you do things right this time around
im doing my best to hang on to that little bit of truth that i found

You ask me why id do this for you,
my answer is b/c your better than that life, and somehow i know that in time you'll pull on through
