The Better Part of Me

I know there's no excuse,
For the way I've treated you.
All the lies and the abuse,
And the pain I put you through.

Every time I made you cry,
I was just too blind to see.
But the fact I can't deny,
You're the better part of me.

Chorus:
You're the better part of me,
In each and every way.
And all the people that we see,
Can't understand why you stay.

The simple truth can only be,
You have a heart that's just so kind.
You're the better part of me,
And I'm the one that's just so blind.

My jealousies, so insecure,
Where it comes from, I don't know.
But still you're willing to endure,
All the anger that I show.

Heaven knows why I act this way,
But no one would disagree.
So now I'm here to finally say,
You're the better part of me.

Chorus:
You're the better part of me,
In each and every way.
And all the people that we see,
Can't understand why you stay.

The simple truth can only be,
You have a heart that's just so kind.
You're the better part of me,
And I'm the one that's just so blind.

The little things you do each day,
Speaks for your love loud and clear.
The tender words I never say,
Are the things you need to hear.

I don't deserve someone like you,
But I hope you'll wait and see.
I've got to change, I know it's true,
Cause you're the better part of me.

Chorus:
You're the better part of me,
In each and every way.
And all the people that we see,
Can't understand why you stay.

The simple truth can only be,
You have a heart that's just so kind.
You're the better part of me,
And I'm the one that's just so blind.
