better this time
I can’t take you realizin'
Then finally comin' around
Looking at me with sad eyes
And making that crying sound
Tellin' me that you’re sorry
That you’ve been so very wrong
Askin' me to forgive you
For letting it go this long
You’re tellin' me that you love me
That you’re ready to tow the line
Promising you’ll do better by me
Sayin' it’ll be better this time
I can’t go on and believe
That you’ve changed your evil ways
That the boy is gone, you’re now a man
You’re the same so ev’ryone says
To let you in is a mistake
For I still have the pain and fears
I can’t let you hurt me again
And you can’t erase my tears
You’re tellin' me that you love me
That you’re ready to tow the line
Promising you’ll do better by me
Sayin' it’ll be better this time
A dog can’t erase its spots
Flowers can’t bloom without rain
My heart can’t sing and be happy
When you’ve given me this much pain
As much as I want to try
To find those changes in you
I just see that same old guy
The one who made me sad and blue
You’re tellin' me that you love me
That you’re ready to tow the line
Promising you’ll do better by me
Sayin' it’ll be better this time
You’re tellin' me that you love me
But I know you won’t tow the line
Your promises are just empty lies
No, it won’t be better this time
