lyrics

Judging from your smile
I can’t guess the size
But your words spoke right to
I’m not familiar with your moves
But I knew your compromise
When your face turned right toward mine

I never called your bluff
But I ignored the signs
Of who you had become
You stay out of the light
So we could never tell
The things we all know now

You can face the rain
or you can hide inside
Your eyes looked right at mine
No way to know

I am the better man
I am the loving one
I will always try, I promise this to myself
Sing a better song
Bitter curse is gone
Dulled the sharpened tongue
I promise this to myself

And I can mask the pain
Or we can change our names
To represent this friendship we may gain

I can mask the pain
Or we can change our names
We can change our names

Does she know what I know
What I got straight from the source
What I knew straight from the start
Falsified information

Does she know what I know
That you did what you did
Does she think what I think about that

I am the better man
I am the loving one
I will always try, I promise this to myself
Sing a better song
Bitter curse is gone
Dulled the sharpened tongue
I promise this to myself

I promise this to myself
