My Better Half - Steven Cooper

[00:20.66]i first met you in my darker days
[00:23.44]long nights in a drunken haze
[00:26.01]those nights seemed to fade away
[00:27.92]replaced by something so much better than my younger ways
[00:31.0]hunger games, pursuing you like an addict
[00:33.07]without you in my life, my life is just static
[00:36.3]just noise, scratched out
[00:37.49]and just void, found out
[00:38.44]it's a mountain you have to climb, forget toys
[00:40.58]i ain't playing no more
[00:42.18]'cause i've grown into a man
[00:43.49]and i'm filling my heart with all the love i can stand
[00:46.09]and i don't give a damn who knows or understands
[00:48.64]these plans we made together, these three tightened strands
[00:51.52]let us both hold on tight through the fight
[00:53.87]thanking god every night for the girl in my life
[00:56.97]and for that we'll both be alright
[00:58.82]yeah yeah, we'll both be alright
[01:01.4]i know she’s with me through the good and the bad
[01:04.55]and she don't care about the goods that we have
[01:07.13]yeah, she will outlast
[01:09.09]when all things pass
[01:10.56]she's my better half
[01:12.020004]i know she's with me on these long lonely nights
[01:14.979996]through the calm, through the storms, and the fights
[01:17.59]yeah, she will outlast
[01:19.770004]when all things pass
[01:21.020004]she's my better half
[01:24.020004]someone who knows i'm not perfect, still calls me a winner
[01:27.0]just an average man trying to provide the next dinner
[01:29.5]trying to take care of her needs but she deserves better
[01:32.5]what she sees in a guy like me, i'll never get her
[01:35.0]but whatever, she makes me feel respected and blessed
[01:37.83]i confess, she's the girl that put an x to the rest
[01:40.479996]the rest don't contest, she's the top, she's the best
[01:42.770004]and once you understand you won't settle for less
[01:45.380005]i confess, it might sound corny or cliché’
[01:48.09]but i, look ahead after 40 when i'm gray
[01:50.59]you think i'll really care what other people say
[01:52.979996]when i've got a beautiful girl that loves me still the same
[01:56.54]so you can chase skirts all day
[01:58.5]and make fun of every verse i say
[02:01.54]and i’ll go back to my girl each night
[02:03.45]and with that, i'ma be alright, i’ma be alright
[02:06.71]i know she’s with me through the good and the bad
[02:09.1]and she don't care about the goods that we have
[02:12.0]yeah, she will outlast
[02:13.6]when all things pass
[02:15.34]she's my better half
[02:16.94]i know she's with me on these long lonely nights
[02:19.45999]through the calm, through the storms, and the fights
[02:22.09]yeah, she will outlast
[02:24.26]when all things pass
[02:25.57]she's my better half
[02:30.12]if you love someone
[02:33.01]if you've found something good
[02:35.61]if you love someone, love someone, love them like you should
[02:40.66]if you love someone
[02:43.27]if you've found something good
[02:45.94]if you love someone, love someone, love them like you should
[02:50.83]if you love her, you tell her every day
[02:52.68]you’ll never let her go, never let her get away
[02:55.22]you'll make it through whatever, moving on to brighter days
[02:57.45999]but you gotta do better, than the average in the game
[03:00.38]you've gotta give it all, if you wanna turn a page
[03:02.63]moving through the chapter, go out of your way
[03:05.37]to make her feel loved, to make her feel okay
[03:07.79]this is all you need, the rest will fall in place, hey
