Lyrics
There's nobody better than you It took me a while 'til I knew But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you? It just took me a while 'til I knew Now I lay as I study a blank wall Would you spare me your voice if I call? 'Cause you waited and watered my heart 'til it grew You just grew a little smarter, too So, I don't blame you If you want to bury me in your memory I'm not the girl I ought to be, but Maybe when you tell your friends You can tell them what you saw in me And not how I turned out to be There's some kind of burning inside me It's kept me from falling apart And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart But it's kept me from falling apart Now here I lay as I wonder about you Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do? 'Cause I've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew You can see how it's blossomed for you And I don't blame you If you want to bury me in your memory I'm not the girl I ought to be, but Maybe when you tell your friends You can tell them what you saw in me And not the way I am And I don't mean to make your heart blue But could we be what we're meant to be? I'm just about to beg you, please And then, when you tell your friends You can tell them what you saw in me And not the way I used to be 'Cause there is nobody better than you
